Book Reviews of The Idiot Girls' Action-Adventure Club: True Tales from a Magnificent and Clumsy Life
Book Review: Hysterical - Relatable
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't think I laughed harder reading in my life. At first I felt bad, because I felt like I was laughing at Laurie, but honestly, we're laughing WITH you.
I don't think I was able to relate to a book more than this. I was forced afterwards to give myself a hard look in the mirror and say to myself, "Yes, you ARE an Idiot Girl." It made my own stories of beer-filled 7:00 am plane rides, getting blitzed right before a funeral and having your 'fake bar identity' come back to haunt you pale in comparison to the Bra Girls or the Petersens.
I feel as though I am on a mission from Laurie to spread the word to my fellow idiot girls that we are not alone. They should all expect this book for their birthdays.
Book Review: Very Funny
Summary: 4 Stars
Seriously, is this stuff real? Do people really live like this? Who cares, it is funny as heck and even more fun to read. If you like books such as the Sweet Potatoe Queens, etc, then you will find this as funny, and really enjoy yourself. This book inspired my to buy and read the rest. I like this as in between books when I read something heavy.Book Review: Maybe I didn't give it a chance but...
Summary: 2 Stars
I read a few entries into this book of essays or short stories if you will, on the mishaps of Laurie Notaro and friends. While some things were mildly amusing, (and by mildly, I mean very mild), I couldn't shake the feeling that I was reading the blog or the diary of a highly immature adult woman. Some of the things she writes in this book are similar to things that I found myself saying when I was between the ages of 13 and 15. I don't know what else to say besides the fact that her immaturity really irked me.Book Review: Poor
Summary: 1 Stars
She does not write well and sort of dumbs things down for her readers who I am guessing are in their teens. Book Review: Wonderfully Funny
Summary: 5 Stars
Laurio Notaro's "Idiot Girls Action-Adventure Club" is wonderfully funny. Written as only Notaro can, the reader is regaled with tales of drunkeness, break-ups, and general life foibles for a 20-something goofy girl. With a flair only she can add, Notaro delights the reader with each word.
Reading a Laurie Notaro book is like mental Godiva's chocolate. Each little morsel should be savored. I cannot wait until she writes her next book. She gets better with each one.
I highly recommend this book!
