Slummy Mummy Audiobook (Unabridged)

" barely ok. some parts (dealing with kids and school) very cute. but the whole premise of infidelity, real and imagined, was off putting to me. "

" I got about 30 pages into this book and it just wasn't getting any better so I had to put it out of its misery. Believe me, it was a mercy killing. I wish I could say something good about this book and/or the lead characters but it had very few redeeming qualities. "

" Another book purchased in Australia due to running out of reading material. It's classic chick lit., but fun to read. The ending definitely took the form of one that seems more appropriate for a comedic movie than a novel, but enjoyable nonetheless. "

" Trying to see what Anna Wintour saw in this book... "

" surprisingly entertaining for me given that I don't really like chick lit. I found her life uncannily like my own, ok I don't ache for sexy domesticated dad or have a celebrity dad at our school but a lot of other more mundane similarities! "

" A surprisingly insightful book! The story definitely gets a little "out there," but if you have school-aged children, you'll find many relatable moments within the story. "

" I only got halfway through this book. It is proported to be like Bridget Jones, but this author is nowhere near as clever, nor funny. Having multiple thoughts and some actions towards an extra-marital affair isn't humorous. Having a best friend who is having an affair with a married man isn't funny either. At least Bridget Jones wasn't married! I didn't even chuckle once and I got to page 150 out of 300ish. I feel guilt over not finishing something, but this book wasn't worth my time. "

" This was a fun book that would please fans of Bridgett Jones. Very british and vey funny. "

" I was disappointed with this book and more disappointed that People magazine actually recommended it. "

" I loved this book! There were so many things I could relate to being a SAHM. "

" I loved reading this book. Great beach read, especially for stay at home and PTO moms. Though parts of the book are a little silly and outrageous, Lucy will have you feeling a little better about your own life. "

" Nice change from regular reads. So funny and I think allot of moms can really relate to this book and see the lighter side of motherhood! "

" Ahh, this is what happens when Bridget Jones has kids and becomes a stay at home mom. The whole infidelity thing was not my favorite part, but the crazy lady sure made me laugh (and maybe feel a little better about myself!) And the fact that the narrator was a lovely British lady didn't hurt. "

" Very funny. Certainly could relate to some of the antics. "

" Hysterical! Laugh outloud funny. I read this over a year ago and I still find myself telling people stories out of that book! I actually bought a second copy! "

" great beach read... had some LOL moments in mommy-hood... plus the fact that she sticks her foot in her mouth constantly.... think sending private emails to the entire Parent Group at school kind of stuff (: "

" This book is hilarious! The main character, Lucy, is flawed but ultimately you are really able to relate to her. The book gives a really interesting view on marriage and motherhood and was just a pleasure to read. I couldn't put it down and was up till 2am finishing it. "

" unfortunately, I couldn't get through this one. hope to try again later. "

" Witty, funny and a quick read!! "

" Just a light read in between heavy stuff. The author captures the harried life that so many of us mothers lead pretty well, with some fun sprinkled in. "

" Interesting take in motherhood. Definitely some laugh out loud moments- however, the children were strangely missing. "

" Not the best book I have ever read, but it was pretty funny. Being a Mom, I could totally relate to some of the crazy things that happen to her and some of the feelings she felt. "

" its so enjoyable and the plot is twisty for a school mum. "

" I could relate to the characters and themes of this one. It was a fun read. "

" Loved this one. Thanks Liz "

" If Bridget Jones became a mum, this is what she'd be like. A hilarious read...highly recommended. "

" A "stay at home mom" must read. Funny from the start. "

" Laugh out loud funny and enjoyed feeling much more organized! "

" Fantastically well written book. It lost it's 5th star by ending in some kind of carry-on farce after being an astute, whilst humerous look at relationships. "

" Ahh, this is what happens when Bridget Jones has kids and becomes a stay at home mom. The whole infidelity thing was not my favorite part, but the crazy lady sure made me laugh (and maybe feel a little better about myself!) And the fact that the narrator was a lovely British lady didn't hurt. "

" Slummy Mummy is the YES! to a mom's everyday " is this really my life?!?!". The great thing is that she makes you happy it is your life, and helps you find the humor in the every day things that you do, well, every day! Long live SSD's by the way ;) "

" Hysterical.....perfect reading when you need a good laugh!! Many moms will relate...I swear she was writing about me and all my scenarios!!!! "

" Fantastic!!!! As a stay-at-home mom, this book had me laughing out loud! Really terrific! I couldn't put it down! "

" Funny...day to day life of a modern motherhood. Bridget Jones with 3 boys. "

" Funny first read for me by British chick lit author Fiona ONeill. Loved the byline comparing Lucy Sweeney to Bridget Jones years later with kids-perfect summation. Would like to reaf more Lucy Sweeney secret adventures. "

" I found this book funny and easy to read. I went through it quickly and enjoyed the story. It is a simple, funny easy book. "

" Loved this one. Thanks Liz "

" Found it funny from a mom perspective. Not sure if it would be as funny otherwise... it might be terrifying? My daughter said I was laughing out loud while reading this "

" pretty silly so far - but light & entertaining - good for gardening & walking Gus. Truly bubblegum... never got any more intelligent - very predictable ending. "
