Customer Reviews

Hilarious and Charming!

This is my favorite book ever. I love the author's sense of humor and quick wit and the endless mishaps that really are true life events that happen to all of us. The dry humor describing Montana is hysterical. I read this just as my best friend moved to Montana to a ranch. The irony was unbelievable. All of the Montana men, customs, etc. that are joked about in the book are actually true and so noticeable if you've ever been to Montana. This book makes me laugh, I still read it over and over.

Great Fun!

I am woman in her late forties who loves "Sex and the City." (I also loved "Northern Exposure," and this book has a little of that quirkiness too.) In fact, I plan to go into mourning following the upcoming final episodes of S & C. If I had known how much fun "Is that a Moose in your Pocket" was going to be, I would have saved it for my mourning period. (I must confess I didn't care for the title. Too Mae West for me.) I was pleasantly surprised at how much I "got" Kim Green's numerous pop culture references laced throughout the book. (Although I am considerably older than Ms. Green, she has obviously watched a lot of Nick at Nite and old movies.) I want to know more about Jen Brenner and her San Francisco friends. Personally, I would like a prequel before Bruce. Of course, maybe HBO should pick up the storyline to fill the void after "S & C" ends.

Hilarious and real

I bought this in San Francisco -- where part of the story is set -- and its great. Its very funny and original, it feels real without being too cute. I am buying copies for friends for XMAS.

Intrigue, Romance and Humour, All in One

What a pleasure it was to read such a well written book. I couldn't put it down. I'm looking for a sequel so I can escape again to the world of Jen Brenner. She is my heroine.

What a great suprise! Pulled me out of a BAAAD mood!

I bought this book with a stack of others (mostly for its amusing title) and it was the last one I decided to read because I didn't really expect much from it. I was having a 'poor me' kind of day and I begged my hubby to take the kids out for a while so I could mope in peace. Well, I got bored just laying around so I picked it up to see if it could distract me. I have to tell you, am I glad I was alone because pretty soon I was laughing out loud making a fool of myself. Jen, the main character is dry, sarcastic and funny! The supporting characters seem like real people who don't always do what you expect them to do. I never write reviews (as you can tell) but I wanted to be sure I recomended this one because it was such a pleasant supprise! I sure hope Kim Green has another one in the works!
