Brilliant and funny: Pollen at her most astute and trenchant
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
A sparkling novel. How diminished British postwar fiction would have been without Pollen. Her prose mixes soaring meditation with streetsmart wisecracks.These tastes of her incandescent intelligence leave the reader gasping for her next novel. "All About Men " gives eloquent expression to the significant issues of modern life whilst leaving room for hilarious fun.This is a book that will raise its readers to fever-pitches of the kind of passionate excitement and involvement only real art can inspire.
Fiction for the Bridget Jones generation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Transplanted from her native New York to the English countryside and boarding school, 13 year old Deli grows from perfect student, to bully, to wild child and then to successful fashion designer. Along the way she tries to nab the perfect man, but encounters many less than perfect specimens through the years. Eventually she finds that being female and juggling a baby, husband, self employment and fame in the middle of the recession is more than she can cope with, and the reader wonders what on earth will happen to Deli in the chaos that surrounds her. "All About Men" is a lively, funny book with the sort of dry humour that will appeal to Bridget Jones fans. Though easy to read it is very well written, and intelligent. The linear narrative is nicely broken up by the inclusion of letters, faxes, flashbacks, and even a How-To guide to the fashion industry, which makes it an entertaining and engrossing read. If Bridet Jones left you hankering for more, try "All About Men"!
