Summary: Honest, Exciting Book Dies With Lousy Ending
Review: I would have given "Wifey" five stars, but it's ending was such a disappointment that I could only give it four. After all of the personal exploration that Sandy does, for her to recapitulate was a drag, to put it simply. I suppose it is why Judy Blume did not write many adult novels; there is a weakness in her writing, even when it is good, and it shows at the end of this book.

Summary: A fun and Care Free book!
Review: I really loved this book it made me laugh the whole time! It is about a women that lives a very boring life with her husband what he doesnt know is that this women yearns so much to explore her body and mind but he is just too traditional and will not try a thing especially in the bedroom! So she explores all right just with out him! You will go through a fun journey into a dirty housewifes mind. It took me 2 days to read this its a great read.

Summary: *Wifey*--another Blume winner
Review: Judy Blume captures yet another mundane suburban life and puts a candid and humorous spin on it with Wifey. One can't help but identify--or at least sympathize--with New Jersey housewife Sandy Pressman and her strained marriage, repressed husband, and demanding extended family. All 33-year-old Sandy wants is to live a little, burst her protective bubble, and earn some respect from her condescending hubby Norm.Blume's style is so honest and Sandy's fantasies are so vividly sexual--and often absurd--that Wifey, while a quick and easy read, holds some strong literary merits for its brazenness and commanding humor. Pick up this *adult* read (many of Blume's books are for young teens, but this is NOT one of them!) and escape into Sandy's fantasy world and exasperating reality.

Summary: Realistic!
Review: This book was so extremely realistic to me. I can say that I can truly identify with Sandy, the main character of this book. Since I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3 and married to a very responsible businessman of a husband, it kind of made me feel like the book had been written about me at times. I finished reading this book in one day. It is indeed entralling! I think all women who stay at home with the kids and WORK 24 hours/7 days a week, should read this. I believe there might be a little Sandy in all of us...

Summary: Exceptionally Real
Review: This book took a break from the novels of fantasy worlds, and took a dip in the pool of realism. How very often marriages get stale, and husbands get worse, and we as women desire something more. Something that if our husband is not willing to give us, we will search for it on our own. Judy Blume saw to it that Sandy would go on a journey of herself. Away from her children and her husband, and more than anything her conformity. Her impulsiveness and creativity that she puts back into her life in envious. This is an awesome read, with comic relief from cover to cover. It is an imaginative exploration of love, marriage, sexuality, and most important, self.

Summary: Once is not enough
Review: I read this book in the mid-70's and loved it! A juicy, entertaining, fast read. I'm ordering this reissue edition to enjoy an old favorite one more time.
Rating:
Summary: Easy and Enjoyable read
Review: This book is just enough naughty to satisfy any adult yet whimsy enough to take less then 2 days to read. The subject of the book Wifey makes you feel for her and understand her in only a way Judy Blume could do!

Summary: read it; loved it; 'nuff said
Review: okay, i agree with ZANE. i read this one a while back and loved it. Loved SMART WOMEN as well. JB's adult books are gems. someone below made comments about "racist" statements made by one of the characters. wake up and remember the times. remember how peeps tried to keep minorities out of certain areas. it was real to me. a big part of writing is being honest and true to the story, not creating a novelized version of disneyland.

Summary: depressing!!
Review: I loved Judy Blume's adult novel 'Summer Sisters' so I was excited to read 'Wifey'. I was so disappointed, the book left me feeling completely depressed and unsatisfied! The husband is a complete jerk and the wife is such a pushover. I wanted to hear about her triumph over her dominating husband, but instead it was a story of female submission and never-ending heartache. Would not recommend if you're looking for a light, enjoyable read!
