Book Reviews of Turning the Tables: A Novel
Book Review: A fun book
Summary: 5 Stars
I suppose the problem I have reviewing Rita Rudner books is that my introduction to her, "Naked Beneath My Clothes", was so fall-on-the-floor funny that no subsequent book can compare. But in "Tickled Pink" and now "Turning the Tables" she has written two solid, good read, funny novels with touches of human interest. The plot is well constructed, but of the sort that can only work in a farce. A woman has an affair with someone senior at the casino where they work, rides his coattails, falls out with him, and is betrayed by him. Then the husband she cheated on goes through a bad time and comes out a better man. She, meanwhile, raises the money for him to rise and triumph and, incidentally bring down the former boyfriend. That's the outline without giving away the punchlines. If you are looking for a light, funny book this is an excellent choice. It never slows down and the jokes keep coming. (Timing, timing, timing!)
