This Too Can Be Yours

Rating:
Summary: Total Entertainment
Review: Beth Lisick's writing is massively hilarious and verrrrry entertaining... you want something deep and meaningful go read War and Peace but if you want to lie down on the sofa and spend a weekend laughing so hard you fall off the sofa then buy this book - she's a great storyteller and turns a phrase like no one else.

Summary: so very funny and clever
Review: I absolutely loved this collection of short stories--Lisick has a razor-sharp wit--I love seeing the modern world through her eyes. I picked this book up on my way home from work and spent the entire BART ride home laughing out loud. Now off to buy Monkey Girl...

Review: The only problem with Beth's writing is that there isn't nearly enough of it. With clever turns of phrase, laser-accurate (and sometimes scathing) insight, Lisick makes you laugh *and* makes you think. A sardonic savant and master of wit, Lisick is a modern-day Dorothy Parker. (And she's really cute, too).

Summary: Uh, whatever...
Review: This Too Can Be Yours is a collection of short stories with first person narratives that will crack you up. Lisick has grown past her first collection, Monkey Girl, into an even better writer.
