Customer Reviews

Not one of ruben`s best..
I do enjoy ruben`s work-and her wit-but i thought this one was a bit of a let down. Not among my favourites, it was rather boring and predictable.

Brilliant, witty, I cried, I laughed, I loved it!
The second of Bernice Ruben's novels I've read. I found the first one by accident, browsing the library shelves. I enjoyed it so much, I went looking for other novels of hers. This one is brilliantly written, contains many parallels in the lives of the characters, and probably in the lives of most of it's readers. Deals with family guilt issues between siblings, parents and children, while maintaining lighthearted forms of amusement. I look forward to reading my next book of hers. She's my kind of novelist!

Very Unusual
What a breath of fresh air. This is the first of Rubens' novels I've read, picked completely by accident and I loved it. I'm not a big fan of contemporary literature, prefering sci-fi and cyber-punk, but this grabbed my attention straight away! I don't concern myself with sub-plots and hidden meanings, I enjoyed this book for its completely original, off-the-wall and funny story. Well worth a read.
