Rating:  Summary: 24 Carat Brilliance Review: C'est magnifique!!! Emma Gold's brilliant, fascinating new novel "Easy', takes you deep into the mind (and other places) of a woman who feels every fibre of her highly intelligent, sensual being. Nature will out! She may not be aware of it, but I think she's the modern existentialist. Perhaps after writing this book, she'll purge herself of her debilitating needs for the opposite sex, and treat them as just mere playthings to satiate her libinous desires. Animal is as animal does. Emma sucks them up and blows them out in bubbles...POP! And that is more than they deserve! Hey Emma, GO GIRL GO!C. Ousin, CT
Rating:  Summary: Pure and utter dreck Review: Don't waste your hard-earned money. The nameless heroine is so unsympathetic that I found myself rooting for her hapless victims in their pathetic bids to escape. The storyline struck me as preposterous and I feel I got suckered into buying this book by the jacket comparisons to Bridget and Jemima (both of which I loved). If you simply must read it, check it out at the library.
Rating:  Summary: Hilarious! Review: Great light hearted read for the single 20 something women! While the main charicator is a bit shallow, her comfortableness with this fact is funny as well as her motivation to get what she wants out of life as long as she enjoys it.
Rating:  Summary: Someone wrote a book about my life! Review: How refreshing to finally find a book that tells it EXACTLY how hard it is being a young, independent, single woman in today's world. The protagonist is blunt, brash, and sassy...Kinda reminds me of me! A definite must-read!

Rating:  Summary: Funny, but shallow Review: I love a good chick lit book--I'm on a first name basis with Bridget, Jemima and Becky, but the nameless chick of Easy is someone I wouldn't want to be around. The book is funny, but the character spends the entire book talking about sex and pot. Her constant approach to finding a man based on the size of his package is funny at first, but sad and pathetic in the end. I felt like there wasn't really a whole lot of plot to pull me into this self-absorbed, sexually promiscuous and chemically altered world.

Rating:  Summary: Wonderful uplifting read Review: I picked this one up on a run to Fiji, regain my sanity jaunt, expecting the usual saccarine heroine and life saving romance. Instead this book was so honest and uplifting and laugh out loud funny , an absolute joy!
Rating:  Summary: Outrageously Witty and All Too Real Review: I picked up my copy of 'Easy' in a discount bookstore in Edinburgh in October, and am now disappointed for other readers that it is out of print! Gold's decidedly autobiographical tale of her journey to find 'the one' is both incredibly hillarious and at times painfully tragic; there is drama-a-plenty in this woman's life to be certain! I laughed out loud until I had tears in my eyes on several ocassions. At the onset I felt the book might be entertaining but lack substance...I was wrong...although it does become repetitive at times. This is a story better left untold in terms of its lessons...better that you simply make the journey yourself with her. And if, like myself, you've learned these lessons already you will nonetheless be well entertained!
