Domestic Violets: A Novel Audiobook

" Something about this sort of book does it for me. Though the title and cover design made me fear it wasn't geared towards me, it definitely was. Mildly profane, overly neurotic, just-barely-not timely. Like a dose of slightly crappier Franzen. Erp, hope that comes across right. "

" Thank you, Good Reads Giveaways. I didn't win ths book, but I heard about it from the Giveaways and put it on my To Read list. Glad I did, it was just great! "

" Was a really good light read at first, and then the last 100 pages came along. Felt like the book was continually wrapping up and throwing in random plot points until the story finally ended. "

" I really really liked this book. I loved the sense of humor of Tom and the realization of how much he is like his father throughout the novel. I felt like I could identify with many of his struggles about marriage, parents, children, etc. I will definitely be searching for more by this author. "

" This was such a great, quick read. It progresses nicely and kept me laughing. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for an entertaining weekend read. "

" More of a 3 1/2. A good book, well written. Funnier at the start than the latter half of the book. "

" Not as good as I thought it was going to be. Funny, but infantile. Why do male writers always think of themselves as desirable? Overall, a fair, light read (on the tails of some long books, this was a nice break). Didn't rock my world. "

" I was laughing out loud at work (reading undercover) at his HR letters and the banter with Greg. "

" Reminds me of Jess Walter's Financial Lives of Poets. "

" It was a quick, easy read - fun but not much that will stick with me. "

" Flew through this! Really liked it! Thanks, Leslie! "

" Great book. loved TomViolet and his sense of humor. Lots of issues in this book that most people could relate to. Even teared up as I read the end. I would love to see what Matthew Norman writes next. "

" Really fun book to read. Reminded me of a Jonathan Tropper book--funny, poignant and full of family dysfunction. "

" I enjoyed this book A LOT - the characters were very well done, the story fast and compelling, and the humor at times laugh out loud funny. I agree with the comparisons drawn to Jonathan Tropper, but Matthew Norman has his own voice. I look forward to more of his work! "

" Wonderful. Funny. Touching. All the things a great book should be. Read it. "

" I can't decide on 3 or 4 stars, I need to process for a bit longer. I will say this, it kept me reading I didn't want to put it down it's been awhile since a book has done that for me. However I'm not in love with parts of the story. "

" I wanted to like this as a lighthearted little read to get me through a week of pneumonia. There were only two characters who didn't make me want to vomit, the old man writer and the little daughter. It was decent enough that I didn't toss it into a corner but that's the best I can say about it. "

" It played like a movie in my head. Is that good or bad? Anyway, I liked it. "

" Satiric, over the top view of corporate life coupled with jealousy of his father's successes makes this a funny yet poignant story. Reminded me of the style of JonathaN Tropper "

" This is an entertaining chick lit with some depth in it. I enjoyed this book about relationships written from a male point of view. Fun read. I am reading it again for my book club. "

" It was a good read, I liked it, but was edgy to get on to another book, that I wanted to stop reading it, but I continued on, it was good, made me cry in the end, seems to happen more and more. "
