Such a Pretty Fat: One Narcissist's Quest to Discover If Her Life Makes Her Ass Look Big, Or Why Pi e Is Not the Answer Audiobook

" Lancaster's droll sense of humor is evident in this humorous and contemporary look at a woman and her life long love/hate relationship with food; and the challenges that causes. "

" Wound up listening to most of this on audiobook while travelling with my wife, and I'm taking credit for it. I think she's compared to Sedaris, as this book uses the comedic memoir format, with the benefit of having an encompassing story arc of sorts. Bonus props for being set in Chicago, one of my favorite homes away from home. I should give it more stars, but if you're looking at the rest of my reading and agree with it, I wouldn't want you to mislead you; this was pure guilty pleasure and part research on comedic writing. "

" This might be my favorite of Jen Lancaster's memoirs. I've read or listened to all. This was an easy and fun read. Reading her books makes me want to hang out with Lancaster while drinking wine and watching Bravo. "

" Took more than one sitting to read this book. The author spent too much time debating on whether or not she was even going to write the book, so it should probably have been more about wrestling with that idea rather than the idea of changing her life-style and getting in shape. Very focused on herself, which is what I suppose a memoir is about, but not a lot of insight as to getting motivated and staying that way. "

" I thought the book was hilarious! Any one who's tried to diet can relate to her book and get several laughs from it. "

" Loved it. So funny. Great book if you have ever struggled with a diet! "

" Jen langcaster is hillarious! Love all her books "

" Great book and made me laugh!! Can't ask for a better book!! "

" The second book of her's that I've read. Just as funny as the first, but perhaps a little more relatable. "

" I love Jen Lancaster's sense of humor! I have enjoyed reading her books and look forward to her next release sometime soon! "

" I don't know why this book struck a chord with me, but it is funny. Good light read "

" Hilarious. Real. If you can't relate to (and laugh about) something this woman writes - you need serious therapy. "

" I liked this book better than Lancaster's first book. I think her self-deprecating humor won me over by this volume. I like her style...she's tough and not afraid to be mean to herself or others. I like that. :D "

" Super funny and light read. Great break from the heavier "reads". "

" This had me giggling out loud while I was reading it in public. A very entertaining book! "

" Read this on a flight to Spain - it was my first Jen Lancaster book. I enjoyed it and laughed out loud so often during the book, I ran out and got her other ones. "

" It is awful. I'm sorry, but it is. The end. "

" Loved it! This was the first book that I had read in a long while that actually sounded the way my friends and I used to gab! "

" OMG... to anyone who has ever tried to lose that extra weight, read this. It will keep you laughing. Only those who have had to lose those extra pounds can appreciate this book. :) "

" I liked this book ok - she was funny ... it just did not call me to come back and pick it up and I don't relate well to her "

" I loved Jen Lancaster's POV on losing weight and how she struggled but still stayed positive. V. Good book!!! "

" Really entertaining ... and a bit motivational. And of course, hysterical. :) "

" Not as good as I thought it would be, but still had some laugh out loud moments. "

" Love Jen lancaster! She always makes me laugh! "

" Definitely not a "how to" diet book, and no really deep revelations, but a very enjoyable read. Anyone who's tried multiple diets will identify with the author's struggles. It made me laugh on multiple occasions. "

" The funniest book I have ever read!! "

" Fun book, had me laughing out loud. "

" Reading it was entertaining like hanging out with your girl friends over cocktails. Similar to Chelsy Handler, but not raunchy. "

" I thought the book was hilarious! Any one who's tried to diet can relate to her book and get several laughs from it. "

" LOVED IT!! For anyone who has gone the gym, eaten a pie, tried to lose weight, had a friend, a husband or a dog. Giggled myself silly on the beach reading this. Now I have to go and read her other books! "

" Didn't think it could get funnier than than Bitter is the New Black, but it was...especially if you have ever tried to shed a few pounds yourself! "

" Jen Lancaster is one of the best comedic writers I have come across in this genre in so many years. You will laugh out loud throughout the entire book. "

" This was a fun, light read. The author is funny and i'll probably check out her other books. In my opinion, though, there were way too many footnotes. I found it distracting. But not so distracting that i won't read the other books. "
