Sure it's predictable- that doesn't mean its not fun (3.5 stars)

The Undomestic Goddess is about a young brilliant overworked lawyer who makes a huge "mistake" (at least she thinks so) and is promptly fired from her job. She then ends up as the housekeeper for extremely rich clueless owners- even though she doesn't know how to use a vacuum let alone how to cook. Soon enough she gets the hang of things (with the help of the uber-hot gardener) and is loving her life as a housekeeper. So when her old high-paying job comes around calling what is an undomesticated goddess to do?

This book was a fun, fluffy predicatble romp that was midly engaging and kept me wanting to read it- if only for its laugh out load, over the top humor. While I could tell exactly what would happen before I was even halfway through the book, that didn't make this book any less funny or enjoyable. This was overall a silly, enjoyable book- with a sweet if ridiculous plot and message, and larger then life characters. If you want a beach read where you won't have to think then you might want to give it a try, though there wasn't anything ridiculously special about this book. If you're looking for something remotely deep skip it.

Fun, light, and good for a laugh!

I listened to the audio verision on XM Sonic Theater, and I couldn't stop laughing. It's typical chick lit, but it's fun for a laugh! The audio is great and captures personalities of the characters. Yes, it's predictable, but you'll enjoy the ride!

Great Beach Read

Funny! Well-written, sincere, and silly all in one package. Love Ms. Kinsella's heroine, not just b/c I could relate to her dilemma on leaving the legal world, but entranced by her desire to leave her a "whole woman" upon resolution of the book. Light, yet warm and endearing. Wish there was a sequel!

Not Up To Shopaholic Standards

This book wasn't nearly as strong as what I've read from Kinsella in the Shopaholic series. I really enjoyed parts of it, but the indecision in the character of Samantha for the last fifty pages was just annoying. Read Shopaholic books before you pick up this one!
