Altar Ego
I love this book! It's not every day you'll see me laughing out loud (or showing any emotion, actually) while reading a book. However, this book was an exception! It had me up reading until the wee hours in the morning! I can't wait to read all of Kathy Lette's other books!
Altar Ego
Lette is a great comic author from Australia. Her writing style is deliberately "hiccupy" in order to illustrate her main characters bumbling lifestyle. Few books have made me laugh out loud like this one. Though I'm sure many may misunderstand her illustration of a may-december interracial relationship, yet as an African American woman myself, I found it hilarious.
Altar Ego
When Becky agrees to marry Julian she doesn't expect her life to turn upside down in the matter of a few hours. She also doesn't expect all the changes that will be coming to it.When Becky leaves Julian at the altar and runs off to figure out what she wants in life. When she shows at her best friend Anouska's wedding it is where she meets the man who will change things in life. Zachary Burne moves into Becky's life and as she starts to cheat on Julian with Zach she never realized just how much trouble she can get into.Overall this was a cute book, I felt at times like I wanted to reach out and smack Becky around for being so foolish and hurting people in her life. Not only Julian, but her friends and other various people in her life.I look forward to reading more from Kathy Lette.
Altar Ego
I found this book to be simultanously well-written and poorly written. But, the author is so witty and the book so funny, that I quickly forgave any faults. What's good: An amazingly enjoyable read - everything that you think and can't say, wish you could do, but wouldn't dare, well... it's in here! What's bad: the plot is a little over the top (although, I admit, in all fairness, that is rather the point...) and some of the writing is mediocre at best (does any American speak like Lette writes????). Still, overlook the problems and enjoy! You won't be sorry...
Altar Ego
I borrowed this book from a friend of mine who had just returned from Britain. This book is Irvine Welsh for the ladies-I absolutely loved it and couldn't put it down! It was hilarious-I laughed so hard-well, we won't go there. It was just a great novel-I really loved it.
Altar Ego
Altar Ego is one of the funniest chick novels ever written! Rebecca Steele is the perfect anti-heroine - dissatisfied, obnoxious, adulterous - and she stumbles upon trouble throughout the novel as she makes one ill-fated decision after another.Having jilted her lawyer fiance at the altar, Rebecca makes the added mistake of having a sizzling liaison with a gorgeous rap star. No sooner does she embark upon the affair than she discovers that her boy toy is one of her boyfriend's exclusive clients. With the help of her eccentric friends, Rebecca tries to figure out a way to get out of the situation without hurting anyone. Will her boyfriend find out? Will Rebecca be able to resist the rap star's tenacious nature? Will she ever grow up? There are some fun twists in the novel.I roared with laughter at Rebecca's relationship angst and ironic humor. Kathy Lette is a great comic author. Her writing style is sort of sloppy, which makes it all the more entertaining. I couldn't put this book down and I look forward to reading more from this talented Australian author.
