Summary: Dating Without Novocaine
Review: "Dating Without Novocaine" was somewhat amusing, but it had potential to be so much more! I was interested in Hannah's plight from the start--she's quite witty and likeable, but despite all of her misadventures with creepy guys, it was a bit dull. Midway through the book, I didn't really care if she found Mr. Right. Her sudden desperation to get married seemed a bit pathetic as well. This idea that she needed to be heading down the isle before she hits 30 just seemed a bit old-fashioned. Where did it come from? She just comes to this realization a few months before her birthday? It's a bit far-fetched that a self-employed, independent, pretty, 29-year-old would suddenly become so obsessed with coupling up with a man that she settles for passionless dates with dorks. In the end, it flows quickly and I think it was written well--like so many other Red Dress Inc. books. This book is enjoyable and has some funny moments, but there are better out there!

Summary: It wouldn't take Sherlock Holmes....
Review: ....to figure out the ending to this book...I felt like my intelligence was insulted! Up until now, I have loved all the Red Dress Ink books, but this one was sub-par. It seemed like it was written for grade schoolers! I like a little maturity with the books I read.

Summary: Why give away the end of a book with the title?
Review: Am I the only reader who was utterly shocked that there was no mystery about the end of the book!!?! I can't understand for the life of me, why an author would want to give away the ending to her own book, before you even open the first page. But, besides that aspect, I purchased this after loving all the other Red Dress Inc. publications. This contemporary novel is no Milk Run, my favorite of the Red Dress books. Definitely not a must read. Like I said, if you want to know what happens, just read the title.

Summary: This Book Is Dangerous To Your Health
Review: Consult your physician before reading Lisa Cach's "Dating Without Novocaine." You probably will need a dose of novocaine to get through this tired, poorly-written, error-laden poor excuse of a Red Dress book. The characters are dull, and the plot trods along like a sick horse on a long country road. I could care less about Hannah or her boring cast of friends as Ms. Cach failed to give me any reason to give a gosh-darn about any of them. If you really want to experience the "Dating Without Novocaine" phenomenon a la Lisa Cach, go stare at a blank wall for 5 days. It's the equivalent of reading the book.

Summary: Laugh out loud!!!
Review: Dating Without Novacaine was my first foray into the world of "Chick Lit" as it has come to be called. I have never become so engaged in a book as quickly as I did with this one. To a Chick Lit novice, this book could be seen as slightly frustrating due to the fact that Hannah has a perfect dating prospect right under her nose. However, the scenarios in which Hannah finds herself are enough to make any woman laugh until she cries. Since, reading this novel I have gone on to become an avid reader of all the books in the Red Dress Ink series, along with many others. I highly recommend this novel to those who are just starting out with stories of this nature. You'll be surprised what you end up entertaining yourself with once you get hooked!

Summary: A Funny Bridget Jones...
Review: Dating Without Novocaine is a hilarious book; I guffawed my way through most of the book. I wish the ending wasn't so truncated, though. An additional chapter to wind up the book would have been nice.

Summary: Not the Nanny Diaries or Slightly Single, but not too bad..
Review: Dating Without Novocaine is definitely a standard 'chick-lit' book about a woman who has absolutely no luck in dating. AT ALL! It was enjoyable, but not a must-read. Although, the part in the woods and a disastrous bout with spermicide, was worth my 12.95!
