This book had me absolutely cracking up. The porn temp scene is worth the price of admission. I adored the two narrators, a fiesty twenty-something old female New York drop Physicist, and a going-nowhere male Aussie bass player. How she got the Australian male voice down (The jacket says Shapiro is American) is amazing. Can't wait for another book from the writer.

I kind of knew Laurie at Syracuse University where she was by far the smartest, funniest girl on campus with a big warm smile.

I was so excited to read in Art News that there was a movie being made out of her book - which I just read. Here's my two cents....this is a book that I will pass on to everyone. If you don't find this laughter-inducing then you are a stiff, because I nearly wet my pants crying. Also very well written. It's great that comedy can come with intellgence. I'm jealous as hell, girl! You go!

I knew this book was going to be funny, my friend had been pushing for me to read it, but I didn't think it was haunt me afterwards. Whoever Laurie Gwen Shapiro is, well done!
