The Undomestic Goddess by Sophia Kinsella A Book Review

By
Real Estate Agent with Sky Realty South Austin

The Undomestic Goddess by Sophia Kinsella  another fun summer read.  Wandering through the book aisle I picked this up and it was pretty fun, so I have discovered another fun author.  I think everyone knows my favorite fun author is Janet Evanovich with her  Stephanie Plum series,  but Stephanie doesn't come out to play every month.  So I needed something else to while away some relaxation time.

The story is light and fluffy and doesn't take itself too seriously. So I have now picked up a second book by Sophia Kinsella, it may have been a forerunner,  Confessions of a Shopaholic, it has been made into a movie that I heard was pretty funny.  I liked it but the book had an ending that was a bit too much fantasy, or contrived.  Im sure I will rent the DVD and find out if the movie comes across the same.

Ms Kinsella is a British Author and her works are set in London and surrounding areas so the lingo is a bit different but easy to figure out and the English cottage settings are always an enjoyable retreat.  Pick up one today and lose yourself in a fast and fun adventure.

Gail,

Thank you for the reading recommendation.  BTW I am English so if you need a translation then just let me know.

Hope you are having a relaxing Sunday with a good book.

Best wishes

I love great books, but I hate to say it....it sounds like a chick book.  I should buy it for my wife.  Thanks for the good idea.

Larry, I am sure it is a chick book.... but the Confessions of a SHopaholic, it is very laughable, and unfortunately much of it screams reality with the credit cards.  Read it in private, I won't tell.  :)

Yes I agree with Larry Gail, chick books are like those steamy romance paperbacks. Guys wouldn't touch that stuff. Yours sounds interesting though.
