The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella Reviews

Description

Publisher's description:
Workaholic attorney Samantha Sweeting has just done the unthinkable. She's made a mistake so huge, it'll wreck any chance of a partnership. Going into utter meltdown, she walks out of her London office, gets on a train, and ends up in the middle of nowhere. Asking for directions at a big, beautiful house, she's mistaken for an interviewee and finds herself being offered a job as housekeeper. Her employers have no idea they've hired a lawyer-and Samantha has no idea how to work the oven. She can't sew on a button, bake a potato, or get the #@%# ironing board to open. How she takes a deep breath and begins to cope-and finds love-is a story as delicious as the bread she learns to bake. But will her old life ever catch up with her? And if it does…will she want it back?

    I purchased this because of my love of Sophie Kinsella novels but it took me a few tries to get into reading this one. If you're having the same troubles, stick with it! I ended up really enjoying it and laughing the whole way through. Though I like other Sophie Kinsella books more, I still think this one is worth the read.

    Unfortunately this doesn't live up to the Shopoholic series, but being a huge Sohie Kinsella fan, it was a must read for me.

    I have to agree with the others here and say this wasn't up to her usual standards, but it WAS a good book, and totally worth reading, and re-reading. I've read it once, I can see myself reading it again in the future.

    The book was predictable, but also pretty satisfying (think power house of a woman getting her own back against the corporate mans world).

    I would definately recommend this book.

    I agree with the other reviewers. Although this was a fun, light read that I couldn't put down it definitely was quite unrealistic. It's a pretty funny story and not at all to be taken seriously. I would never recommend this one as a book club read!

    Not as great as some of her other books, but a nice read overall.

    As a die-hard Sophie Kinsella fan, I had to read this. Every time I pick up one of her books, I hold my breath in anticipation that this - yes maybe this - book will meet my beloved Shopaholic standard.

    This book did not. However, it is a fun light read that I enjoyed when I relaxed my prerequisite. Will anything come close to "Confessions of a Shopaholic" in the chicklit genre? Hard to say. Read this without prejudice and you will enjoy it.
