The Cursing Mommy's Book of Days: A Novel Audiobook

" Just not my cup of tea. Didn't like at all. "

" Excellent narration by Cynthia Nixon, hilarious is you don't mind cursing, which the cursing mommy sure does. "

" There were some very funny moments here, but I listened to it as an audiobook and the fairly regular screaming drove me batty. "

" I found this book boring, predictable, and unrelatable. My mother gave it to me with sky high recommendations, and I read rave reviews, so it has an audience, I'm just not part of it. I didn't find the dialogue realistic or natural, I didn't find the characters realistic, and it just never grabbed my attention even for a minute. I got through February, that's it. "

" I laughed out loud a few times, which was really why I wanted to read this book in the first place. There is a bit of social commentary in there that was also rather entertaining. "

" It was clearly a satire anyone who didn't get that and said it was ridiculous clearly missed the point. But it got quite a bit repetitive and just "enough" part way through. But there were parts that were absolutely brilliant. "

" I thought this book was awful. Reviews said how funny it is, but I didn't laugh at all. The main character is an alcoholic, insane, ignorant woman. The male author has quite a skewed view if he thinks this is the way women think and behave. The environment, ranging from the schools, grocery stores, companies, and every person she is in contact with, is horrific. I can't imagine anywhere as awful as this place. I'm not sure how or why I continued to read it, but it was justified in the end of how terrible this book is. It ends so abruptly and leaves holes in the story. I've never been happier to be done with a book. "

" It reads like it was written using certain templates created by Frazier than as an actual novel. "

" Loved this silly and funny! "

" The New Yorker column is better as it is in small doses. Every chapter feels like the chapter before. That said there are hilarious bits in here. "

" Easily the funniest book I've read all year. Laugh out loud on the subway funny. Make people think I need to be checked into a facility funny. Just seriously damn funny. "

" Kind of silly. Not sure I got the point of the book; or if there was a point. "

" This isn't a super serious book, in fact I skipped through it, but it gives a funny handling of the problems moms face--aging parents, having to volunteer at the school, children who may have educational issues. Silly but sympathetic. "

" Silly and fun for a snow day "

" Some parts very funny, but overall just okay. Interesting that the book was written by a man. "

" Cursing Mommy is my hero. Every cursing rant that I have ever wanted to say is in this book. I wish she were here right now so we can discuss any subject. "

" while it's great in little flashes, a novel just can't touch the brilliance of the original Cursing Mommy columns. Some ideas just were not made to be long-form. "

" I don't have a problem with cursing, but this book was way too negative. Maybe it would have been better if I had read it instead of listened to it. "

" Amusing in The New Yorker perhaps. But I found this novel tedious and unfunny. Disappointing since I enjoy this type of novel. "

" Cursing Mommy works much better as a column than as a book. "

" I could have finished this book sooner, but we had to spend evenings at the school, refinishing the cafeteria floor. "

" Why didn't I listen to Sharon and forgo reading this piece of crap? "

" I like Ian Frazier's writing. I read his pieces in the New Yorker. This is just an extended piece. A page of it would be amusing. After 20 pages, though, it got very very old. "

" Parts were funny, but mostly it was a tedious read. "

" I couldn't connect with the main character. "

" First chapter made me laugh so hard I couldn't open my eyes. Second chapter I realized everything felt repetitive. Great short story material; not so much a novel. "

" This made me laugh, but nowhere near as hard as the New Yorker pieces did. "

" It made me laugh out loud in the library, then it just got repetitive and predictable..there were some really funny stuff but I found myself dragging by the month of May "
