Brilliant and amusing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book is an outrageously funny satirical commentary on single life in Manhattan. Janowitz is superb at characterizations, and observations. Brilliant, insightful and amusing.... I couldn't put this book down, but to be clear, it's not for everyone: 'irony is wasted on the stupid.'
I loved it!

Before there was "sex and the City", there was Florence. I loved her crazy choices, wild lifestyle - I was very concerned about her, but found humor and pain in this wonderfully eccentric novel. I thought it was just fantastic - entertaining - Tama Janowitz - please keep writing!!!!
Absolutely Wonderful

I find it hard to believe that anyone would not love this book. I could not put it down and have passed it on to all my friends who equally love the book. The characters are a true extreme example of women living in the city in their thirties. I recommend this book highly!
TERRIFIC!

Why don't people like this book? It's well-crafted, peppered with hilarious characters, a real tragicomedy...Janowitz has such an endearing way of putting things, even horrible things. Maybe some readers have had their delicate sensibilities threatened (what are these people reading? Danielle Steel?). Seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it novel, and i definitely LOVED it.
