Dave, where are you? You're the kind of guy who will make someone a great husband one day. Living with only women does pay off. Thanks to Ehrenhaft for this hilarious read. I stayed-up too late to finish this book.

Summary: Humorous...
Review: A delightfully humorous read, Tell it to Naomi is about a plan involving an advice column turned awry.
This book made me laugh and I really enjoyed reading about Dave (a very likeable and adorable protagonist)'s antics - and even his way of talking :)

I have read Ehrenhaft (well, he has a pseudonym)'s other work (The Wessex Papers), and I think he has a very smart and clever way of writing. The humour is wry and very entertaining, and the plots are always intriguing.

A good, light read. Recommended.

Summary: A pithy fun read...who says pithy?
Review: As you can see on this page, this book is about Dave who is 15 years old. Dave lives with his sister, mother, and aunt in an apartment in New York He gets wrangled into writing an advice colum pretending to be his sister Naomi. Of course...chaos ensues.

The book was well written, and held my interest well. Dave was a pretty likeable character and it didn't get too angsty and turn me off, so that was good. It was funny, and had some seriousness but not too much.

I would have liked a little more of a conclusion, some sort of wrap up, but that is the only real fault I have with this book. I would defnatly recommend it.

Summary: Fantastic Read
Review: Fifteen-year-old Dave Rosen is a guy, hence the masculine name. However, he's very in touch with his feminine side, after all, what guy who's grown up in an apartment on the Lower East Side with three women wouldn't be? And, like most 15-year-old boys, Dave is gangly, and has just become a statistic, as he, a lowly sophomore, has fallen in love with Celeste Fanucci, a senior who's just moved to New York from California. Suddenly Dave finds himself thinking up ways to get Celeste to fall in love with him, and he's found one. Start an advice column. Advice columns are entirely popular with teenagers, and are loved by all. But who wants to read an advice column written by a guy? So Dave makes an agreement with his older sister Naomi. He'll give the advice, and she can take the credit. It's the perfect deal. And who knows, maybe Celeste herself will write in to the column, and Dave will finally be able to bridge relationships for sophomore boys and senior girls the world over.

When I first heard about TELL IT TO NAOMI a few months ago, I absolutely knew that I had to have it. It sounded like the perfect book, and it was. Dave is a fun character, who's personality and life takes ups and downs daily, going from happy to sad, mad to angry within seconds. His story is hilarious, while at the same tragic. Much like THE CATCHER IN THE RYE, Dave's story is one of growing up, and coming-of-age, of realizing that maybe being young isn't really that bad, after all, you don't have to deal with so many problems and disasters as a kid. Daniel Ehrenhaft has created a fabulous book, that will be loved by male and female teenagers the world over. And if you're looking for another great read, check out THE WESSEX PAPERS series, Volumes 1-3 written by Daniel Ehrenhaft, only under the pseudonym Daniel Parker.

Review: I loved this book and read it in two days -- a great, hilarious story of a guy in high school and what happens when he starts writing an advice column under the name of "Naomi." It really captures the essence of high school and dealing with annoyances of parents and siblings.

Review: Once I picked up this book, I couldn't put it down...I was totally engrossed and couldn't wait to see how it ended. It was a really fun read. I really related to the main character, Dave Rosen. Down to earth, witty, smart...I felt like he was someone I would want to hang out with. I also liked the way the author portrayed high school. Unlike T.V. shows like the O.C. where high school is full of beautiful people with tons of money who party constantly, he shows a more realistic view where the students are actually insecure and awkward! Hurray! I really hope there's a sequel so I can find out what happens to Dave next!
