Summary: Love Nora Ephron
Comment: The last time I read Nora Ephron was "Heartburn," and I loved it. That was years ago, and I can't imagine why I didn't read all her books back then. But that just means I can enjoy them now. I loved "I Feel Bad..." because I too feel bad about my neck, and I hate my purse, and I couldn't agree more...there are few things in life that are as satisfying as a really good book. And this is.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I feel good about this book!
Comment: This delightful book was charming and witty. Although I am only twenty and could not relate to a lot of the experiences Nora describes, she gave some good advice that I will take with me and remember as I age.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nora should stick to novels and screenplays
Comment: I feel bad about the money I spent on this book. Nora Ephron is a genious when it comes to observing and writing about other people in modern society, but this collection of essays falls completely flat if one is to believe it is about thoughts on being a middle-aged woman. She makes a couple of good observational hits, but the majority of it is too personalized and elitist. How many of her readership can truly understand and relate to living in New York and being a successful journalist, author, and producer? I wanted to read and laugh about the inevitable things that happen to women as we age and be able to relate to my sisterhood around the world and throughout time. Ms. Ephron includes too much fluff from her own unique life circumstances here to accomplish this. This book just demonstrates that even the most talented writers cannot be successful in every genre they attempt.

Summary: Nora Is The Man
Comment: Is Nora is great writer? Yes What I love about her is the content, her stuff, is so meaningful. Not just mindful esoteric banter, but real issues, real life, learning and laughing about her self. I have recommended this book to several people and family...Everybody laughs and loves it.
Thank You Nora Ephron. We love you!
Customer Rating:
Summary: I feel bad about my neck, too
Comment: Feels like I have read 20-30% of these essays already, just by being a somewhat lazy reader of the NYer. HOWEVER, these are good, pithy, funny. I felt compelled to share some of this wisdom with friends. ENJOY!

Editorial Reviews:
|
With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice, and dry sense of humor, Nora Ephron shares with us her ups and downs in I Feel Bad About My Neck, a candid, hilarious look at women who are getting older and dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself.
Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless parent. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as a woman of a certain age. Utterly courageous, uproariously funny, and unexpectedly moving in its truth telling, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a scrumptious, irresistible treat of a book, full of truths, laugh out loud moments that will appeal to readers of all ages.
