About this listen

Millie was at one time quite well known for various TV and radio appearances. However, she now has no money, a best friend with a better sex life than her, a daughter in Papua New Guinea and too much weight in places she really doesn't want it.

When she's asked to be the front woman for a new diet pill, she naively believes that all her troubles will be solved. She will have money, the weight will be gone, and maybe she'll get more sex.

If only life was really that easy. It doesn't take her long to realize it's going to take more than a diet pill to solve her never-ending woes...

I expected better. The bronchial narration without any narrative emphasis made what could have been a very funny book dreary. The plot was very promising.

my street - I love novelty and this book had it. Helen Lederer - you are a natural at story telling - more please!

Funny and brilliantly performed.

The enjoyment of the story was marred by a monotonous narration. Had this been narrated by someone else it would have been far better.

Disappointed

This book was funny and the character of Milly charms and resonates with many women of a certain age I should think. Overall there was a bit too much skipping over the difficulties she was having and whole chunks of time passed in a paragraph or two where things had got resolved 'magically'. The last chapter is a case in point and totally jars.

Enjoyable, quite funny, missing links spoil story

How could the performance have been better?

I think it was doomed from the start.

The words.

Any additional comments?

Such a shame, Helen is an incredible actress whom I'm admire, but this was total dross. I shall be seeking a credit refund. Hugely disappointed.

God awful.
