From Publishers Weekly
From the author of The Trials of Tiffany Trott comes an amusing tale about Minty Malone's year-long recovery after being jilted at the altar by her insurance salesman fianc?, the self-righteous Dominic. Determined to overcome the "Dominic Effect," Minty, a London radio reporter, gives her engagement ring to a street musician, takes off on a Paris honeymoon with her bridesmaid, and enrolls in a seminar on how not to be so helplessly nice that everyone takes advantage of her. Minty's workplace (in which she must compete with a lisping coworker for the job of presenter and fend off letters from a stalker) and home life (where cousin Amber and her obnoxious parrot have just moved in) prove to be fertile settings for the author's unwavering sense of humor and offhand wit. Wolff's talent for outrageous characters, like Minty's hopeless, "philanthropoholic" mother who supports such charities as the Canine Prosthetics Association, and the Boys'R'Us male escort who can't quit discussing his bowel problems, more than makes up for the novel's sappy ending.

I'm so sorry that I've hold the book for so long! But at least now I've read it and I'm ready to send it forward.
I really liked this novel. It is optimistic, funny and witty and tries to be nothing more than romantic women's fiction. I love the little word games (is that a word?) that this book is stuffed with and I can only imagine what a pain it would be to try and translate them. Anyway, "The Making of Minty Malone" is such an upbeat novel that you just know that everything will turn out so very fine in the end but the really interesting part is to learn how. Just how does the author unravel all the twists in the plot? Well, you'll just have to read and find out!

Got the book yesterday - kiitos ritao ja hyvää pääsiäistä!
Will start reading the book at once, and write more later.

I really enjoyed the novel! It was such a fun read and I loved the characters. I think it´s good entertainment and I´m looking forward to the "Trails of Tiffany Trott"!!

On the way to Portable-Solace in the U.S. Have fun!!

I just received this in the mail yesterday and can't wait to read it!

I apologize for keeping this book so long. Although I thought the book was a little long, I really enjoyed it once I'd finished. It was a hopeful,fun work of fiction. I'm looking forward to reading The Trials of Tiffany Trott now. Thanks so much for sharing this!

I'll be sending this to Spaceystacey once I get an address.

Spaceystacey has asked to be skipped. I will mail this out as soon as I get the address for doris.
