3.0 étoiles sur 5 Fun effort (3 1/2 stars)... 8 février 2004
Par CoffeeGurl - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Broché
Speechless is a fun, quick novel centered on office politics. Libby McIssac, a six-foot tall giantess and aspiring author, realizes that her new government position as the Minister of Culture's speechwriter consists more of gopher work than of actually writing speeches. To make matters worse, she's caught her thirteenth wedding bouquet and her love life is in a state of paralysis. Will she be able to handle Margo, her archrival and nemesis at the office? Will she choose the adorable Tim over her arrogant, albeit gorgeous, British colleague? And will she ever write a book?

This isn't the best Red Dress Ink offering, but it does offer a good dose of wit and insight on office politics. I was able to relate to some of the situations. I, too, have encountered my fair share of Margos throughout my career. Collins and Rideout's takes on Canadian politics are very informative. I also like the setting (Toronto) and quirky characters. Libby, though irritating at times, has a sarcastic tone that made me laugh in various occasions. All in all, this is a nice, quick read.

3.0 étoiles sur 5 An enjoyable Toronto-set Chick Lit novel 23 février 2004
Par "bognarregis" - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Broché
I enjoyed reading Speechless and found it a good Chick Lit novel. The thing I liked best was that it was set in Toronto, which is a great city for Chick Lit stories, I think. I was always waiting for Toronto to be selected as a story location, and that was one reason why I enjoyed last year's Chick Lit novel 'A Year of Samantha' by B.D. Gardner - as far as I can tell, that was the first Toronto-set Chick Lit novel, and 'A Year of Samantha' was very good (you can read my review of that book if you like).

Speechless has a lot going for it and I enjoyed most the bits where Libby comes to see that the corporate world higher-ups will always blame the lesserites when they can to look good themselves (there is an old adage about how a certain sunbstance always flows downhill). The mentioning of Canoe (great restaurant!) was also a neat touch for those of us who know Toronto and its 'in' places. There was a bit too much froth for me (going to all those weddings and always catching the bouquet I thought bordered on unrealistic). I like realistic chick lit, and Speechless had some great realistic bits, but not as much as I would have liked, hence 3 out of 5 stars. A good first effort.

I compared this to ultra-realistic 'A Year of Samantha' mainly due to the fact that both of the novels where set in Toronto. Other good chick lit books that I found ultra-realistic include 'The Devil Wears Prada' (probably the best Chick Lit book, in my opinion) and 'Maneater' (good in realism, but not as enjoyable a story as 'The Devil Wears Prada').

In short, Speechless is an enjoyable read, escecially for the Toronto-set. A good book.

I wasn't crazy about this book and had to skip through some of the boring parts (i.e. the emails to her friend).
