Book Reviews of Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants: Based on a True Story
Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Compared to Laurie Notaro's humorous books, this book is a severe disappointment. I usually have a policy: if I spend money on something, I'm going to finish it. I couldn't even make myself finish the last 50 pages. This book isn't funny...its a rant broke up by interesting chapter titles.
This author really seemed to go from one extreme to the next. One minute she's proud of being Jewish, the next minute she's stating that she's really not that Jewish...One minute she's proud to be able to stand up on her own without a man, the next minute she's focusing in on how her boyfriend has changed her...make up your mind.
And the part that where staff writers only make $2000 a week? Ha, that breaks my heart. Maybe for the next book, the author should make what real America makes--which is significantly less than that.
Summary of Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants: Based on a True Story
This hilarious, whip-smart collection of essays from a top writer and producer of Six Feet Under crisscrosses from the highly personal (conflating her own loss of virginity and the Kobe Bryant accusations), to the political (what she has in common with Monica and Chandra), to the outrageously Los Angelean (why women wear huge diamonds and what they must do to get them). Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants is a genre-defying combination of personal essay and memoir, or a hilarious, unruly and unapologetic evaluation of society, religion, sex, love, and -- best of all -- Jill Soloway.
