Bulletproof Mascara: A Novel Audiobook

" This book gets 2 stars because while I didn't like it, I also didn't hate it. It was just dumb. Cool premise, just horribly executed. If it wasn't going into WAY too much detail on the military tactics and gun facts, then it was them discussing makeup and shoe shopping. Really? Not quite sure who the intended audience for such a book is. Too prissy for me at parts, too butch at others, is probably the best way to put it. The best part was when they actually showed the main character going on her test mission. Wish there had been more of that because the actual mission was overall dumb and predictable. "

" This is a "what if" book -- what if Mary Kay Inc. had a clandestine group dedicated to fighting women's causes around the world, such as human trafficing? Under the umbrella of the Carrie Mae Foundation, poised and talented women fight for right. This is not great literature, but it was a lot of fun for someone who is with the the Mary Kay Foundation. Their work is a lot more exciting! I was entertained. "

" This is one of the most entertaining mysteries I've read in awhile. The storyline is unique and a real page-turner. I highly recommend this! "

" This was slow moving until the last 1/3 of the book. It was a fun story, but so much detail that I felt it dragged on and on. "

" This book was a lot of fun to read and exactly what was promised (a little James Bond, humor, and escapism). "

" BULLETPROOF MASCARA is Bethany Maines' debut on the mystery scene, and the book is definitely good escapist fun. If you like spy novels with humor, this one will float your boat. This line from the back cover of the advanced copy I read says it all: "What do you get when you cross Avon ladies with Charlie's Angels? A world-class intelligence organization run by women who really know their foundation." BULLETPROOF MASCARA is out on March 2, 2010. "

" Had to pick up this novel because of the title! The background stories of the main characters weren't filled in enough for me, so I had a hard time engaging with any of them, which always makes it difficult to really get into the story. A light read mystery that had potential, but never seemed to quite get there. "

" I really liked this book. Growing up I always wanted to be a spy or detective, but I ended up an accountant. Books like this are nice because they speak to that part of me that still desperately wants adventure. I believe I have had daydreams very similar to this plot and it felt like I may have written something similar in my head, I do have the same first name as the author... But, it was a great book. Good excitement, good adventure, good romance, good twists. And intelligently written, unlike some books that read like a teenager wrote them. Very good work. "

" Found this book to be laugh out loud hilarious and thoroughly enjoyable. Highly implausible, but very funny. "

" Pure, nauseating fluff. "

" This past week I ran out of books to read on kindle so a co-worker loaned this book to me. I couldn't get interested in the main character at all. "

" HA! Loved this! "

" It was okay. Very cliche, but there were some funny parts. I liked the idea and the basic story though. The ending was surprising. I like that. Too much swearing though "

" a fun, light hearted book. very far fetched, but definitely worth a pool or fireside read. "

" A fun romp that combines Avon Ladies with James Bond in an adventure story with a touch of romance. Light easy reading but captivating and characters that you remember "

" really a 3.5. fun entertaining page-turner (the only thing i can manage to get through right now). "

" Really enjoyed it, kooky heroine, espionage, little bit o romance equals good chick lit. "

" I like this novel, the storyline was always going and mixed surprises, although I think the beginning to middle of the book could have been cut down dramatically. I think it was too long, but overall a good read. "

" Highly entertaining. Nikki Lanier becomes a Carrie Mae foundation special operative. She gets into all sorts of hair-raising situations. Goes to Thailand and manages to snag the guy- who just happens to be CIA. "

" Couldn't finish this one. The story of a makeup saleslady-turned-killing machine was very unrealistic. I read this one because the library was holding a reader's choice contest. Not worth the time. "

" Fun fluffy thriller. Pretty darn funny. "

" I liked the premise of this book and thougth it would be fun. It was ok, some funny parts and a decent "spy" story, but definitely not one I feel like I'm going to go out and buy the rest of the serios, sadly. "

" Good book to read while enduring a severe head cold! Not much plot, no hard words, nothing to remember. "

" I gave this one up about halfway through. The premise is silly, the storytelling uneven, the dialogue is trite and occasionally outright ridiculous, and I'm not wasting any more time on it. Sorry, book club, I just can't read it any more! "

" Hilarious! I loved it! Such a spoof! Action, no swearing sex, etc. Loved it! "

" Really enjoyed it, kooky heroine, espionage, little bit o romance equals good chick lit. "

" Found this book to be laugh out loud hilarious and thoroughly enjoyable. Highly implausible, but very funny. "

" Was amusing but it just isn't my type of book, so I never finished it. A good summer easy beach book. "

" I liked the idea. Felt overly-long, though, especially the first part (all the training). I don't get why Nikki was so loyal to Val even after she tried to kill her twice. "

" This is one of the most entertaining mysteries I've read in awhile. The storyline is unique and a real page-turner. I highly recommend this! "
