Summary: Brilliantly funny

Summary: Fun, light reading
Review: Tiffany Trott is a single woman in her late 30's who has decided to be more pro-active in her search for Mr. Right. She puts a personal ad in the newspaper and encourages her friends to set her up on blind dates, with disasterous results. If you've ever been on a bad date, this book will make you laugh. My only criticism of this book is that the ending was rather open, leaving me hanging. Still, a fun read, excellent for the beach or pool.

Summary: A Seriously Favorable review of a Seriously Underrated book
Review: I picked up Tiffany Trott because I was looking for something to tide me over while I waited for another "Bridget" adventure. I was pleasantly sruprised! I found it to be quite interesting and entertaining, but very predictable. Several times I found myself laughing outloud at Tiffany's catchy one-liners, even though I knew that she was just thinking them to herself. Overall, Tiffany Trott was a pleasant read, and I have no problem reccomending it to my friends!

Summary: The Smarter Side of Ms. Jones
Review: Tiffany is a riot! She is just as funny if not more so than Bridget Jones. But even better- she is smarter and witier and far less shallow. The author's writing is bitingly entertaining and Tiffany's trials are identifiable, hilarious and almost always embarrassingly familiar. If nothing else you will have spent a few fun hours on a book.Enjoy!

Summary: Tiffany Trott -- not so hot
Review: I expected more out of this book. Perhaps it is just that I am not 39 and husband-hunting, or maybe it is that I don't spend more than half my day thinking about designer clothes -- my designer clothes, the designer clothes of my friends and the designer clothes of the various people I meet -- or maybe it's just that I don't resonate with the refrains of the book hahahhahah, go to work on an egg, hahahaha, but try as I might, I could not relate to the characters in this book. I really tried to relate. I wanted to like the book, I wanted to like the characters, to empathize with their situations, etc., but in the end, I was disappointed. Other than the characters, I found the story quite entertaining in its pace and setup.

Summary: Very Disappointed!
Review: ... I decided to give Tiffany a try. Well, she's no Bridget Jones. The characters are cliches. The plot (such as there is) offers few surprises. And as an American, I just didn't get some of the humor. But most of the book is so unamusing, I'm sure many Brits don't get it either. In short, save your money and re-read Bridget Jones instead.

Summary: Very Funny!
Review: This book is perfect for anyone who has been out on more bad dates then good ones. Tiffany is a very likeable character and the object of her affection is just delightful.

Summary: Reading Tiffany Trott is no Trial
Review: Isabel Wolff is a very good writer - this book is extremely funny, extremely clever and great, great fun to read. I found it uplifting, inspiring but so realistic and easy to relate to -her descriptions of London and the 38 bus made me feel very involved as she goes to all the places I do! Tiffany is a very sympathetic, likeable character and she is surrounded by lots of lovely people - except for her ghastly dates! I LOVED the way she kept saying "actually I didn't say that... what I did say was...." - this is SO true to life! Which of us haven't done that! Unlike other reviewers I didn't find this irritating at all but just painfully funny. I think this would make a wonderful film or television series as the scenes are all so beautifully sketched and really conjure up a picture. ... Tiffany is a lovely book and I can't wait to read Minty Malone - Isabel Wolff's second book.

Summary: Simply Smashing
Review: Upon learning that this book was similar to Bridget Jones Diary, I knew I had to read it. I am so glad I did! As a single woman looking for Mr. Right, I could certainly relate to Tiffany's trials. The book is funny and inspiring, and although I must admit that I feared for the ending, it was pulled off just beautifully. I cannot wait to read more from Isabel Wolff!

Summary: Funny, full of feeling and fabulous
Review: Tiffany Trott is a feast of truly witty jokes, well-drawn characters and superbly visualized plot lines. Reading it is almost like watching a film. Indeed, I think it would make a wonderful film - a much better one than other London-based comedy-romances, such as Sliding Doors. Isabel Wolff's book had me laughing out loud and, although I read a great deal, I don't often guffaw on the Tube during the London rush hour. I received some funny looks, I can tell you! The book is well-written, yet the language is easily accessible so that reading is no effort at all. I was particularly moved by the birth scene at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, and I found the mobile phone on the bus scene absolutely side-splitting. I'm afraid that I can't possibly agree with 'Pathetic' of Boston, one thing this book isn't is 'Pathetic'.
