Maneater

By: Gigi Levangie Grazer

Narrated by: Uma Thurman

Feast your eyes on Clarissa.
At twenty-eight (thirty-one), Clarissa Alpert is blessed with a designer wardrobe, a daddy-subsidized apartment, and an A-list speed-dial. Gorgeous and wildly uninhibited, she has amassed a list of exes that amounts to a Who's Who of Hollywood power players. But with her twenty-ninth (thirty-second) birthday looming, she starts to panic. Who on earth could possibly make her an honest woman?

She's reserved a table for two.
Enter Aaron Mason, the latest, hottest new producer in town, who Clarissa decides is the future "Mr. Alpert." With the help of her vivacious friends, her aerobicized Latina mother, her ex-con father, and the most divine gay waiter in Hollywood, Clarissa plans the biggest wedding L.A. has seen in years -- all before the couple's first date. Catching Aaron's eye is not the problem. He just seems to have his own agenda. Could Clarissa have finally bitten off more than she can chew?©2003 Last Punch Productions; (P)2003 Simon & Schuster Inc. All Rights Reserved.

WASTE OF TIME!

The story lines is ridiculous. She got married because she decided she wanted to and then picked a husband?! She got pregnant using a turkey baster?! She didn't know her husband's real name because he was pretending to be someone else?! I kept thinking something was going to happen to salvage the book. But all I got was a narrator who droned on and on enough to put me to sleep every time I listened. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY and steer clear of any other books by this author.

less than trash

Hey, trash can be fun sometimes, but this is boring trash. The author tries sooooooooooo hard to shock that you just want to say "oh, Puh-leeeeeze!" All I can say is that they selected a narrator that matches the book in reading ability.

Fluffy and Funny

I loved this book - it is a great escape from everyday life. Clarrissa is good at her core and yet deliciously evil at times. Uma is a GREAT narrator - I wish she would read more books. It is full of "inside" jokes that you will get if you keep up with celebrity gossip and such. A cute story!
