Okay, I didn't stay up all night like Mr. Doyle, but I started this book before bed and it was the first thing I grabbed the next morning. I'd consumed it whole by noon. What a fabulous, fierce, funny and brilliant read. I felt like I'd found a new friend -- one whose affection for Andrea Dworkin *and* Annie Sprinkle, feminist analysis and self-deprecating humour is infectious and engaging. (And for those of you who are turned off by the word "feminist", I suspect you have a good chance of enjoying this book too -- Soloway doesn't subscribe to stereotypes.) I'm feeling a strong need to re-watch all of Six Feet Under just to get another dose of this amazing writer.

Jill is the quintessential opinionated Jewish comedian, similar to Larry David, unafraid to address issues head-on with such candor and refreshing personal insight, that you can't help but love her. Is she really a feminist or is she just using feminism as a platform to make us laugh with all of her talk about what men expect and how women do it for them when they shouldn't? She also makes herself out to be the nerd who is never accepted by the cool people, and it works. She is very endearing. And she's willing to go where few have gone as she talks about potty habbits, a hilarious footnote about her real thoughts as she is engaged in a certain sexual activity, her role as a mother and her lack of luck obtaining diamonds from the men in her life.
At the same time, she is far more down to earth and thoughtful in her approach to life and the female/male "relationship" than much of what comes through to us from Hollywood.
For me, it was a fun quick journey into the world of an up-to- date Hollywood writer who is influencing our thinking and our world view as her humor trickles down to us through Television. I'll be watching for her stuff. To me, she's could be the new female version of Seinfeld.

Tough to start but extremely funny. Looking forward to more from Ms. Soloway, what a talent.

While reading Soloway's book, I not only laughed out loud, but appreciated her unique 'feminist' approach. The book was more like a combination of essays as opposed to a 'true story', but I enjoyed it anyway. Also, she scores points in my book for her fondness of marijuana.
