Description

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A candid, hilarious look at women of a certain age and dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself--now with an introduction from bestselling author, Dolly Alderton

“Wickedly witty ... Crackling sharp ... Fireworks shoot out [of this collection].” —The Boston Globe

With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice, and dry sense of humor, Nora Ephron chronicles her life as a passionate city dweller, an adventurous cook, and hapless parent. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as an older woman. Utterly courageous, laugh-out-loud funny, and unexpectedly moving in its honesty, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a scrumptious treat of a book—and a candid look at dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself.

As charming and irresistible as it was when it was first published, I Feel Bad About My Neck has all the wit and insight that made Ephron into a cultural icon, a perfect essay collection from a writer who has “an uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are” (The New York Times).

    I have been meaning to read this book for quite some time, and finely did upon Ephron's recent death. Despite a rather scathing review by another iBook reader, I found this book to be light and entertaining. I especially thought it was insightful and truthful, as I am middle-ageist (fifty-three years old) myself. I took it as not meandering or disjointed, but rather a series of essays on now pressing issues and related reflections on the past. I particularly liked the chapters regarding her pursue and maintenance.

    I have always loved the author's work and couldn't wait to read this book. I am 53 years old and expected to find a lot of humor about women as we age. Instead, I found a great deal of rambling that was senseless. I came away with the feeling that she either needed the money for another book or one last ego-stroking experience before people realized she really had nothing funny left to say. I can't believe that I wasted almost $10 on this book and received nothing in return. It would have been a much better experience to have re-read one of her previous books or to have rented one of her movies. What a sad way to end a successful career.
