Typical Notaro humor. You either love her or hate her. Personally I love her! This one made me laugh just as much as her first book did. She doesn't seem to be losing steam and I hope she keeps writing more books!

Humorous Memoir/Essays: Funniest books I've ever read. I laughed at loud until people thought I needed help. It might be picked on by others for technical reasons, but it's perfect to me. Great for young women who shun girly chick lit, but I bet all women can identify with these stories of embarrassing school moments, humiliating adult moments, and sarcastic outrage at the too skinny too pretty too perfect people. Or too dumb. You have a tendancy to put your foot in your mouth a lot? This will make you feel WAY better about those painful memories. This is the second in a continuing series, first is The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club, after this one is Autobiography of a Fat Bride and then We Thought You Would Be Prettier.

Laughed out loud at some of her stories. Felt like I had been there and done that at times.

Notaro's collection of essays this time centers around her various frustrations at living in a world populated by doofuses, dolts, and demanders of various ages, sizes, and social standing. Meanwhile, she's awaiting the publication of her first book, trying to hang on to her job amid corporate shuffling, and fending off inquiries about her reproductive status.

Now I know what side-splitting laughter is. Many of the stories made me laugh so hard I pulled something or wheezed and gasped for air. One or two essays I thought should've been excluded from the book as pointless and not funny. Overall, if you liked "Idiot Girls", this one will not disappoint.

Started off pretty funny, ended sour. This felt like a book written to specifically piss off ex-coworkers. "Hey, look at me, I'm on the NYT best seller list! Bet you wish you didn't fire me!"

She's got a pretty negative/cruel attitude that is hard to relate to.
I wish she would write about people she likes rather than people she hates.
