Summary: Hilarious!
Review: Yes...it's predictable...and perhaps Olivia Goldsmith hasn't researched Seattle that well. It is chick lit...and not feminist literature. But it's hilarious...There are some chick lits that are on autopilot, and it's a chore to finish this book. And then there's this book -- which I stayed up all night to finish. It is simply hilarious -- the way she describes nerdy tech guys. Yes the premise of the book relies on heavy steryotypes, but it's still very fun and interesting. It's definitely up there with my favorite chick lit books.

Summary: Uggh
Review: I really dislike this book and I am only 1/2 through it! There are so many inaccuracies. The main one, as it is pointed out:
You CANNOT fly from Tacoma to Seattle! Especially in a DC10. Besides the fact that it is not a likely situation, there is no airport in Tacoma, Washington that can have a DC10 fly out of it! The fact checker majorly failed.
Another glaring error is Goldsmith's lack of research on the Seattle area. One main reason I bought this book is that I love reading books about my home area. But 1, you can not get to downtown Seattle from Bainbridge, the Bainbridge ferry goes to West Seattle, a long way from downtown. and 2, it would take WAY over an hour to eat breakfast, ride to the ferry terminal, and get to Seattle.
I am appalled by the lack of research that went into this book. Not to mention the quivering lack of originallity that Goldsmith put into the plot. I found this book in the "Fiction/Literature" section of Barnes and Noble, it should be in Romance, or even the bargin bin.

Summary: Made me want to read again!
Review: In a sentence "Bad Boy" is the journey of Tracie and her best guy friend Jon, her "bad" boyfriend Phil, and the lesson she learns the hardway.
I happened upon "Bad Boy" by accident and found a wonderful surprise. I loved everything about the novel from Tracie's relationships with her girlfriends to her attraction to the wrong kinds of men. The witty banter between the characters and the realness of the characters' emotions at any given time was dead on. Though some would classify this a "chick book" I recommend this book to men and women, "I even gave it to a guy friend at work."

Review: If you want to find out what this book is about read the other reviews, they are fine for that. I'll just give you my opinion as a male reader who hasn't read a chick book since Wuthering Heights.This book is fantastic! The fairest review is the one by "A reader from Fort Worth, TX United States" - the book isn't deep and the characters are annoying, yes, but it's funny and sharp and flows well but most importantly, it accurately reflects reality! Reality has annoying people in it who make lots of big mistakes in their lives! If you want to read about perfect people stick to Disney children's books. If you want to read an interesting critique on female courting behaviour that isn't keeping up with the modern age, then read this book!
