The Ex factor

Rating:
Summary: Call it Chick Lite
Review: Calling "The Ex Factor" the Chinese food of Chick Lit is a grave disservice to the cuisine of the Middle Kingdom. Semple's not a bad writer and her sex scenes are quite spicy, but the novel will stay with you only as long as it takes to close the book and put it back on a shelf. None of the characters is remotely believable or likeable, and a bizarre domestic violence interlude just leaves you queasy. "Ex Factor" would be better described, perhaps, as the Yoshinoya of Japanese food--cheap, greasy and a bit stomach-turning.

Summary: Truthfully..
Review: I haven't had a chance to grab this book at the nearest bookstore in KLCC. But I would definitely recommended another book by Andrea Semple titled: The Make-up Girl. It was simply hilarious and I just wish tall, dark and gorgeous Frank Blake, would be at my doorstep knocking my door at this instant! 5-stars for The Make-up Girl.

ps: I'll be back with Ex-Factor review.

Summary: ok read
Review: It was an okay read. Slightly sluggish. I had to make myself read through the book to the end just so it wasn't a waste of my money.

Summary: Great Writing, Slow Developing Plot
Review: Meet Martha Seymore - an advice columnist at Gloss Magazine. When she finds out that her boyfriend Luke has been cheating on her, she is devastated. (Having him admit it to her mid-foreplay just adds icing to the cake!) What's a girl to do? Temporarily she moves in with her friend Desdemona, who just happens to be engaged to Alex, one of Martha's ex boyfriends. Thus begins Martha's search to get over Luke. She wonders if she will get over him if she found another man.

Join Martha in her soul-searching in this witty, well-written novel. Martha is the type of heroine whom many can identify with - smart, sassy, funny yet flawed. Overall I enjoyed this book for the most part, although I wished at times that the plot moved along a little more instead of having the character constantly looking back into the past. Not a whole lot seemed to happen. However, the book is definitely worth a read. Andrea Semple has written another book that is so far only published in the UK called The Make-up Girl.

Summary: Laugh out loud....
Review: This book had me laughing non-stop with the realisms of the 25 year old, newly single, realistic girl living in a party city! I loved it!!

Rating:
Summary: This book rocks!
Review: This book is a must read! I devoured it in one sitting, it's a little more intelligent than your average chick lit book, with the main character becoming a modern day heroine for the messy 20 somethings out there...Go buy it!

Summary: BORING!
Review: This book was really boring and I couldn't care about any of the characters.
