Good in Bed

Emotional, heavy, well-written

I feel that it's kind of important to like the main charater (which I did) in order to even finish a book, but Maxie was my favorite charater. She's a good friend and a genuine person inspite of her profession and the living in the impossible world of Hollywood.

I haven't, but she was really good! Her performance was dry, which was perfect for Canny's charater. She did an excellent job with her charater voices.

There were alot of moving moments in this book. This story provoked alot of emotion for me, I laughed, cried (well ok, not actually cried), it made me angry, and suprised me. Yes there were a few twists and turns, some "I didn't see that coming" yet I felt a bit misguided by the synopsis and felt the other reviews left out alot about the general feeling of this book.

I personally did not find this book lighthearted or funny (in general), it was a very emotional book, a story about one woman's struggle with how to deal with her abondment issues, her struggle with her body image, and finding love and lasting joy. Canny has a dry witty, sarcastic sence of humor, she has many amusing "one liners" that contributes to the humor in this story, but I would NOT consider this to be a funny book (which is what I was looking for). Yet that didn't didn't keep me from enjoying this story, it's well written, although as another reviewer said, there is quite a long build up; right around chapter 7 I found myself considering if I wanted to continue with the story, and I'm glad I did. I found myself really caring for all the charaters (ok so not so much Bruce or "The Pusher") and really got sucked in. Not a perfect ending, some issues were left unresolved, so I'll say it was an upbeat, positive, realistic ending.

I feel that if a story provokes strong emotion in you (good or bad) then the author has done their job. This is just such a story. Yet we all have our reasons for reading fiction. I personally gravitate to stories about the fantastic and magical or lighthearted funny, so this was definatly outside what I usually enjoy so I have mixed feelings about this story. If you enjoy Lifetime movies (I'm esp. thinking about the Drop Dead Diva series) then you'd like this story.

This is a great summer read. Light and fun. The narrator did a good job as well. Would recommend to anyone looking for something easy to listen to.

In the top 10 i will think.

The happy ending is nice, But i think it's where Cannie desice to make it on her one.

I Liked it. But i think this book is better, if you read it your self.

Laugh many times, and angry on the ex-boyfriend.

It is a good book. And you falls inlove whit Cannie. She is a fighter a just lovly.

Definitely. It's a good read/listen

Cannie. I began to love Cannie for her wit and humor.

I bought this book to listen to on my commute. It was so good that I found myself listening to it at home as well! It was a great companion while doing laundry, vacuuming, etc,

I plan on reading this book again in the future. This reading moved from body image, to love, to hate, to hope and to moving on in life even through tough times. I normally fall for novels that have a dystopia theme however this novel pulled me in because the main character is portrayed as a strong female who can work through life as it comes at her. A very real life novel on how it is to live in today's world, almost like a reality TV show.

I have enjoyed many of JW books. I didn't enjoy this one as much. She has good characters. The development of the story was slow. It had interesting twists. It was a struggle to get all the way thru this book.

Not after this. It would have moments where I would think it was getting better before dropping back into more self hating drawl.

Cannie, the main charachter. I kept wanting to like her but ahead disliked herself so much it was impossible.

Yes, it was good and entertaining, but at times depressing. The beginning of the book was light and funny but then as it went on it got heavier.

This is very high, it was a fun book and not though provoking but just plan fun!

The next best thing on my list, smashed, point of retreat

She did a great job, I do have to say she has a voice that sounds much older than 27. In the beginning I had to keep reminding myself she was younger than she sounded.

The dr. I wanted to see him and know him better. He seemed like a great guys.

Good In Bed is an inspiration to all women who have every struggled with body image, abandonment, a career or a break up! Weiner creates Candice Shapiro, Canny for short, to be a strong independent woman living in the city. Canny recalls her life as she experiences new thrills and struggles. I love that Weiner doesn't portray Canny to be a dependent women like so many other authors have created.
