Amanda's Wedding: A Novel Audiobook

" the first foreign book i read .. funny and full of romance .. "

" Really enjoyed this; amusing and realistic. "

" Nothing special, typical girly book for feelings and drama in woman head. I used it for training my English. Nice time. "

" I really liked this "chick lit" book. I love the way the British talk and their humor. If you want a book that makes you laugh out loud...this should work for you. "

" I couldn't finish this one. It got on my nerves, and it was too slow to begin with... so I just stopped reading it. The main character is moody and kind of self-loathing. And she had a potty mouth from what I can remember. I was thinking it would be good, if I could just skip to a later part. I just couldn't get through it. "

" With reading the mixed reviews I figured I would give this book a shot since I receive it from a book fair sale. May I say this was a waste of time. It was able to keep my attention but I just did not enjoy the storyline. It was a strange book. "

" Planted firmly in Bridget Jones territory, Colgan's first novel takes off with the kind of manic energy and sharply vulgar humor that only a Brit-sitcom can, before settling down into the typical fare that comprises contemporary girl-fic. Londoners Mel and Fran, both 20-something, are horrified to learn that the third member of their childhood trio, Amanda--an uppity, shallow brat who's burned them one too many times--has landed Fraser McConald, a Scottish lord, as her fianc . Compounding their annoyance is the fact that back in their university days, Mel, who serves as narrator, had a huge crush on Fraser. Mel is also reeling because her loutish, aspiring rock-star beau, Alex, who left her 10 months ago to find himself in America, has returned to her doorstep in full force. Further complicating matters is Nicholas, a clueless, eight feet tall accountant whose advances she sometimes succumbs to when very drunk. Fraser's charming brother, Angus, rightly suspects that Amanda only wants Fraser for the Town & Country cachet of his crumbling castle, and he enlists the aid of Mel and Fran to sabotage the nuptials. In any romantic comedy, it's a given that the lead heroine will get a man; the question here is which man? With several possibilities, readers may be surprised at the outcome; some may be disappointed. The writing is clever enough, and Mel and Fran's antics are entertaining, even if their self-involvement tips over into cruelty at times. But for those who expect more substance, even in a comedy, the only momentous theme available--that it's preferable, if at all possible, to marry for love rather than convenience--is hardly weighty. The last thing Melanie and Fran want to see is Amanda's wedding. Especially after the way she's been treating them. But that's ok, turns out, they weren't invited. So how do they get back at their childhood friend? By enlisting Angus, Fraser's (the groom) brother (who hates her just as much). Between Mel's psycho roommate, Linda and her not good boyfriend, Alex, Melanie gets what she deserves. "

" Pretty boring.... "

" A fun book to read... I really enjoyed reading it..! =) "

" read it the second time and i like it better now! "

" Can't believe I actually read and liked this self-loathing piece of semi-romantic crap! "

" In London, middle class and Sloane Rangers mix it up with the usual results. Quite enjoyable. It becomes evident that January was a month of mostly fairly undemanding reads for me! "

" Good read full of humor. Will definately look for more from her. "

" Entertaining British chick lit novel. I would read another book by Jenny Colgan. Amanda's Wedding was her first. "

" Story was great but the ending fell a little flat. Didn't make me dislike the story it just could have been a bit better. "

" 'I'd always thought of myself as a kind person, but now I realised that was in fact a complete fallacy. I was really a path-of-least-resistance person. Damn' P. 121 "

" It was written by a British author, so it was a little hard to follow with the English vernacular. The book was OK. "

" After Bridget Jones, I searched high and lo throughout the entire genre (lighthearted fluff about British twenty/thirty-somethings looking for love in the big city) for something as funny. Nothing is, to my knowledge, but this is worth reading if you like that sort of thing. "

" I loved this book until the end. And then I was just plain irritated. Wrong ending!!!! "

" The protagonist in the story is not Amanda but Melanie. The book is a so-so--light tongue-in-cheek story about getting even with the evil witch. Leaning more like giving you the antagonists' POVs. I mean, Amanda certainly deserves the revenge (plotted by the protagonists) as she is a bitch. "

" Karen is probably right but i found it a wonderful distraction. Liked the characters no matter how improbable. "

" i really luvd this book, it woz defo a laff a minute book. i ave read otha Jenny Colgan books, so far none are as funny as this one "

" I hadn't read this in years, so I decided to read it again. Still love it as much as I did 10 years ago (even though there's a disparaging remark made about Kylie Minogue). A fun read. "

" fun, light read with some laugh-out-loud moments. "

" Not my usual kind of book but written from by a british comedian it is funny. So if you're relaxing on the beach this is something you'll surely enjoy. "

" First chapters are a bit boring, but then you get into it and can't stop reading. The ending was absolutely unpredictable for me! Nice book to read on vacations or on raine day sitting under the warm blanket "

" Fun for a while, but the ending was completely improbable. "
