But it was much worse that! The characters are great and very well thought out but Bella Pollen rushes the reader at a speed that is far too fast. It brings across the feeling that her agent was probably calling every five minutes to ask when it was completed. The book can't decide whether it wants to be about fashion or relationships. Good potential but fails at the first post. 9 people found this helpful Helpful Comment Report abuse See all 3 reviews Write a customer review Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon.com Amazon.com: 5.0 out of 5 stars 2 reviews flump@quadrant.xs4all.nl 5.0 out of 5 starsFiction for the Bridget Jones generation 2 January 1999 - Published on Amazon.com Format: Paperback Transplanted from her native New York to the English countryside and boarding school, 13 year old Deli grows from perfect student, to bully, to wild child and then to successful fashion designer. Along the way she tries to nab the perfect man, but encounters many less than perfect specimens through the years. Eventually she finds that being female and juggling a baby, husband, self employment and fame in the middle of the recession is more than she can cope with, and the reader wonders what on earth will happen to Deli in the chaos that surrounds her. "All About Men" is a lively, funny book with the sort of dry humour that will appeal to Bridget Jones fans. Though easy to read it is very well written, and intelligent. The linear narrative is nicely broken up by the inclusion of letters, faxes, flashbacks, and even a How-To guide to the fashion industry, which makes it an entertaining and engrossing read. If Bridet Jones left you hankering for more, try "All About Men"! 2 people found this helpful. ROBIE UNIACKE 5.0 out of 5 starsBrilliant and funny: Pollen at her most astute and trenchant 24 January 1999 - Published on Amazon.com Format: Paperback A sparkling novel. How diminished British postwar fiction would have been without Pollen. Her prose mixes soaring meditation with streetsmart wisecracks.These tastes of her incandescent intelligence leave the reader gasping for her next novel. "All About Men " gives eloquent expression to the significant issues of modern life whilst leaving room for hilarious fun.This is a book that will raise its readers to fever-pitches of the kind of passionate excitement and involvement only real art can inspire. 2 people found this helpful.
