Rating:  Summary: A highly entertaining read! Review: Ignore the hype about how Karyn should not have depended on other people to get herself out of debt! You're just jealous YOU didn't come up with the idea first! This book is highly entertaining, lighthearted, warm, and overall FUNNY!!! I laughed out loud every other paragraph and could identify with the protagonist many times in the book. I passed it on to one of my friends and she devoured it instantly.
Rating:  Summary: I laughed until I cried Review: Save Karyn was was the best book I've read in a long time. If you do not know who Karyn Bosnak is..please visit her website at www.savekaryn.com. I've told maybe people her true story, who's is quite unreal, yet very real at the same time. If you're looking for a good laugh or have been a shopoholic in the past..even if you still are..PICK UP THIS BOOK. You will relate in every way. Her sense of humor will crack you up and her sincerity will make you smile. Karyn has a great writing style..I'm looking forward to her next book which will be a work of fiction.
Rating:  Summary: Funny Book Review: I think this book was hilarious and I can definitly relate. A lesson was learned Karyn was really creative and put a lot of time and effort into this book and her story. If people want to be generous and send her money then sobeit and if you do not, don't. It is ridiculous to criticize someone for accepting charity or just a little help in this case. Kudos Karen!
Rating:  Summary: A Must Read!!! Review: I must admit, I initially bought the book because I thought it was a "how to" guide on getting out of debt. Once I realized it wasn't, I was pleasantly surprised by my mistake. I honestly could not put the book down! The book was hysterical! It was refreshing to know there are other people out there with similar situations to my own. I applaud Karyn for her guts and gusto! What she did is not something that can be repeated even though others have attempted. BRILLIANT!
Rating:  Summary: Worthwhile for anyone who's ever been in huge debt! Review: I could totally relate to Karyn's situation in her book, and it even inspired me to finally get my own credit card debt paid off. Though i didn't set up a website, at least it got me motivated to get to work! So far, i've gone from $5,000 to less than $1,800 in credit card debt. Not bad!Karyn writes very well and keeps things lighthearted. I felt like i was reading a book written by either myself or my own best friends. She realized the true "pickle" she had gotten herself into, and found an ingenious way to solve the problem. i couldn't agree more that most people were probably only offended by the site because they hadn't thought of it first! Worthwhile reading for anyone who's been in over their head, and definitely a must read for anyone who is in over their head right now!
Rating:  Summary: Not well written but entertaining Review: This book can not be classified as "worthwhile" reading material but it is entertaining. I hate to say it, but Karyn totally comes off in her book as a shallow, airheaded, Midwesterner. I'm not sure if the ghost writer picked up on her 80's vocabulary of "kick butt" and "anywho" but that part was quite annoying. If you're looking for chick-lit (even though this is non-fiction) , don't buy this. It can't compare at all to Jennifer Weiner, Sophie Kinsella, Marian Keyes, etc. (...)
Rating:  Summary: Terrible Review: I thought I would enjoy this, I followed the story on the web, but the writing is terrible. I don't know who the ghos writer was, but the writing style was clearly different from her web postings. This book reads like a bad high school "what I did on vacation" essay. If you are interested in the story I suggest looking up an article online.
Rating:  Summary: Irresponsibility, thy name is Karyn Review: The book purports to be an object lesson, but Bosnak should feel chastened and ashamed. Her irresponsibility and selfish behaviors should have landed her in the dumper, but instead she's lauded; not only that, but why would anyone have given this woman (who thinks spending more than $300 on her hair [!!] is acceptable) money, when she has no clue about what to do with it is beyond me. Another sickening example demonstrating the dangerous societal drift toward no consequences for bad behavior. Let this woman loose (without a coin to her name) in the slums of Cairo or Rio, and see how she views money thereafter.
Rating:  Summary: How many of us have been where Karyn was...... Review: Refreshingly open look into a devastating time in a young womans life, and how she "Saved Karyn". Heartwarming trip from girlhood to responsible womanhood. Reading her every thought and feeling along her way was like being there with her on her journey. Kudo's for an ingenious way to get out of debt, and learning what it means to become an adult along the way. I liked it!
Rating:  Summary: This is a GREAT book! Review: I didn't alway slike Karyn. However, I wanted to read her story. I picked up her book and couldn't put it down, it was that good. Most of the book had me laughing so hard (she is really THAT funny) and some parts made me cry. Very good read, anyone who loves to shop, loves makeup, fashion mag's, will totally fall in love with this book. Karyn is such a sweetheart, she deserves a happy ending :)
