Maneater (Abridged) Audiobook

" The main character is vapid and unlikeable, though still entertaining at times. This is definitely a story that requires the suspension of disbelief. It's escapist all the way. "

" I needed some mindless reading just as a stress relief. This book provided that for three quarters of it. Would I read it again? No. Would I purchase another book from the same author? Probably not. I couldn't relate much to the book, and I guess that is because I am not from LA, so much of the lingo I had to re-read two or three times until I figured it out. I did like the funny aspects of the book. It did provide entertainment, but the last quarter of the book or so I found boring and frankly 'just bizarre'. The book did its purpose - provide mindless reading and mild entertainment. "

" Funny and unpredictable. Read by Uma Thurman, of all things. "

" Bugged. Didn't like anyone. Didn't make it more than 50 pages in. "

" I read it a few years ago as a young teen and really enjoyed it. Another time around showed, while entertaining, how shallow the book really was. A good light read, but there's not much else to show for it. "

" Read because The Sports Club/LA is mentioned...ok. "

" a quick chick - lit read that's laugh out loud funny. Fans of Plum Sykes and Sophie Kinsella should enjoy this book. "

" Very light and breezy, not much to learn but kind of clever. I'm reading it by Audiobook and loving listening to Uma Thurman's scratchy, sexy lisp. "

" I listened to the abridged version on audio and really liked it. Uma Thurman has the best narration voice for chick-lit. A fun, quick guilty pleasure. "

" Thought it was a great easy read. Listened to this on tape and Uma Thurman was the reader - she's really good! "

" Probably my favorite chick lit. book to date. "

" LOVED LOVED LOVED it! one of my new favorites! "

" One of my friends gave this book to me for my b-day, so I tried REALLY hard to read it, but I couldn't finish it. The author's writing style is bizarre and the plot was dull. "

" I can't only rate the good books I read. This book was way too predictable. Someone needs to write a new book geared towards women that doesn't rely on myspace, facebook, or credit cards as plot devices. That being said, it provided a nice respite from the winter, and I like pink books. "

" This book took me a little while to get into. Initially I despised the main character, Clarissa, but eventually her self-indulgent and neurotic tendencies grew on me. "

" This wasn't a bad book but it was nothing but fluff. Clarrisa is a "maneater" who decides ro marry a man for his money. Obviously that's a bad idea but its typical happy ending chick lit. Clarissa is such a brat that its harsh to really care though. I give it a C-. "

" There's some pretty interesting humor in this. A lot of crude thoughts and everything that people think of stereotypical L.A. girls "

" I love this book- I'd forgotten all about it until I saw it on the shelf at Half-Price Books the other day. The antics of this heroine truly crack me up and I thoroughly enjoyed every WORD of this one! MUST READ! "

" I really enjoyed Grazer's other novel, The Starter Wife and I figured for a light, fluffy book, this might fit the bill. In comparison, it was a lot more vapid, but still enough brain candy to serve its purpose. Now, onto something a little more profound... "

" Sometimes I have an urge to read books called Maneater written by Hollywood producer's wives. This is the only one I know of, and it pretty much satisfied the urge. "

" I listened to this, it was fair and a bit funny but not approaching evonovich funny. "

" It took me a long time to read because I was too busy much of the time with work to read. It was an enjoyable, silly romp about love. "

" Bugged. Didn't like anyone. Didn't make it more than 50 pages in. "

" If you are looking for some cotton candy, want a character you love to hate and experience the superficial-plasticity of LA from a far with a chuckle then you have found your book. Two things I am thankful for 1) I am not single anymore 2) I somehow found my soul mate in that city. "

" hilarious, light read. This chick is something else... "

" found this in the bargin bin at borders for $4; not worth the money. i read about 50 pages and found it too stupid to continue reading. "

" This is 3.5 stars. If you can get past the main character's shallowness this is a good book with really witty lines. "

" I can't only rate the good books I read. This book was way too predictable. Someone needs to write a new book geared towards women that doesn't rely on myspace, facebook, or credit cards as plot devices. That being said, it provided a nice respite from the winter, and I like pink books. "

" Thought it was a great easy read. Listened to this on tape and Uma Thurman was the reader - she's really good! "

" I really enjoyed "The Starter Wife," so I assumed I would enjoy this book as well. Wrong. Do not torture yourself with this book. I enjoy reading chick lit once in awhile, but this book combined everything that is wrong with chick lit – it was painful. "
