unique and intelligent

Is there a book award for most original premise of the year? If so, this book should win it. While the 'hook' is definitely unique and original, it's the characters that really pulled me into this novel. They pulled me into their world and took me on a wild ride. Although I finished the book a few days ago (over the weekend), I'm still thinking about Sasha and Jordan and Erika and Melanie and on and on...an intelligent, funny story!

A Female Fairy Tale

This book is a delight! Two words...Lazy Sperm! A fantastic fairy tale for every woman who gets pregnant, thinks she might be pregnant, can't believe she's pregnant, or...just has ovaries. The story is soft and warm like the duvet I cuddled into on an overcast day to read this luscious little tale. I enjoyed this book immensely!

Airplane entertainment

I read this book on the plane. The novel proposes an interesting question: how long can a sperm live in a female host and still achieve conception? The lazy sperm idea is certainly an interesting yet frightful notion. I enjoyed the book, and I arrived at my destination safely.

One for the Ages

This is a truly wonderful book. It is funny, thoughtful and just plain delightful. One might call it a perfect beach read, and it is...but it is also more than that. Sasha Salter will win you over and make you want more.

Must read

This is the present I'll be giving to all my girl friends in 2007. This book is funny, poignant and sassy. I was hooked right away, and couldn't put the book down after chapter one. The ending is fabulous - I only wish there was more to read. I hope there is a sequel.

After too many vodka tonics at her best friend's baby shower, twenty-seven-year-old Sasha finds herself having a ladies' room epiphany. How quickly life can change, she thinks to herself: one minute she's writing a master's thesis about a TV comedy show for kids?and the next, the program actually gets optioned with her as the star. But Sasha?s awe at the twists of fate proves to be premature. The real shock comes the next day, when her routine visit to the ob-gyn reveals that she?s pregnant?even though she hasn't slept with anyone in more than two years.

To her unbelieving ears comes the doctor?s diagnosis: Sasha?s body has unwittingly hosted a cellular hitchhiker, a medical anomaly known as ?lazy sperm.? And now that this plodding genetic contribution has finally fulfilled its destiny, it will be up to Sasha to summon the courage to revisit her past loves even as her future slowly takes shape inside her. Which of her exes will be the father and how will he take the astounding news? And what will the end of the mystery mean to Sasha? The answers are revealed in this wonderfully inventive debut about the bonds that linger between people even after they part ways, and how the future can change in the twitch of a tail.
