Tickled Pink: A Comic Novel

Rating:
Summary: Tickled Pink
Review: I choose various amounts f books at different stores. The reason I chose this book was because of its weird appearance and the title. It was to my curiosity to find out why Rita Rudner has called her book " tickled pink".
After reading a few pages, I realized that Mindy and Ursula are the main character. She writes a book telling us about the hardships we face in life. It can help us see how hard the outside world can really be sometimes. These characters go to New York to boost their careers and well moving to a city like the bog apple wasn't helping their careers at all they all end up at being comedians.
My favorite part of the book is when Ursula 's mother comes to New York to visit and Ursula brings her mother along. When they meet her mother screams and finds the total truth about her single mothers past. This book is very complicated and tells a lot of " what if's ". This is why I have finished this book and not stopped since.

Summary: Tickled? No. Amused and entertained? Yes.
Review: I have always loved Rita Rudner as a comedian. Her comic delivery is perfect and unflawed. Just to see her tell her jokes and stories with a constant grin always makes me smile. I LOVED Rita's comical book, "Naked Beneath My Clothes." Throughout, it was as if I could hear her reading the words to me. They were so reminicent of her speech. "Tickled Pink," I would wager, is a semi-autobiographical first novel, as Rita was a dancer and then a comedienne, as is the main character, Mindy, in the book. The book is a quick and entertaining read, but I found myself more involved with the story involving Mindy's friend, Ursula, and her domineering mother Eva more interesting than Mindy's life. Rita doesn't display her humor as much as one would think or like throughout the novel, but it's a great poolside/beachside book to read and keep yourself amused. Anyway, I would definitely continue to read Rita's works...should there be more. I love her as a person and comedian, so anything she writes, I would pick up in a store.

Summary: Author of MATERNAL MEANDERINGS says,"This is fabulous fun!"
Review: I have always loved the humor of Rita Rudner, so it's no surprise that she would write a fantastic book like, "Tickled Pink" that is, at times, downright hilarious, just based upon her characterizations. With the backdrop of solid comedy, wonderful pacing and clever plot development this book is a MUST for those who love humor in their reading. I know, it's trite, but I didn't want it to end. I felt like Rita was telling the story to me over a double latte and I hope she makes a lot of money on this one!
