Leave the Building Quickly: True Stories (P.S.) 

Description

Cynthia Kaplan, acclaimed author of Why I'm Like This, once again casts her gimlet eye upon the current state of her affairs. Also of your affairs, and some other people's affairs as well. Journey with her as she humiliates herself in a variety of locales and fearlessly takes on all the important issues of the day—including her family, intelligent design, Narnia, and New England's deer population.

Leave the Building Quickly is a hilarious, moving, bitingly honest, take-no-prisoners incursion into the kind of real-life daily circumstances that inspire us to crouch in the linen closet at three in the morning. But that's okay because Kaplan's there, too. And she's brought snacks.


Customer reviews for 'Leave the Building Quickly: True Stories (P.S.)'

«Great laugh, quick read, nice pick-me-up, relatable»

I loved this book. I thought it was witty and funny and a great read to relax with and just enjoy. I wish it were longer.. I didn't want to finish it.

«Terrible, self indulgent, trite»

I bought this book after reading a good review. It was terrible! One chapter explains how a close friend and mentor told her that the book wasn't ready for publication. She made fun of him for being so foolish - she should have listened!

«If you like essays...»

This is a book of essays (unlike a novel, which I thought it was when I bought it). But, I read it as I had already bought it. As essays, they are amusing; not hilarious or funny as is described elsewhere, but just amusing. They do not have much substance; they did not make me think, or change my mind, or do anything except amuse me. If that's all you want, by all means, buy this. But do not expect to be greatly enlightened or have your thinking changed; Plato or Machiavelli are much better authors for those purposes.

In short, if you like essays about nothing in particular, you might want to consider this book. If you're expecting something else, forget it.
