Editorial Reviews:

With her disarming, intimate, completely accessible voice, and dry sense of humor, Nora Ephron shares with us her ups and downs in I Feel Bad About My Neck, a candid, hilarious look at women who are getting older and dealing with the tribulations of maintenance, menopause, empty nests, and life itself.
Ephron chronicles her life as an obsessed cook, passionate city dweller, and hapless parent. But mostly she speaks frankly and uproariously about life as a woman of a certain age. Utterly courageous, uproariously funny, and unexpectedly moving in its truth telling, I Feel Bad About My Neck is a scrumptious, irresistible treat of a book, full of truths, laugh out loud moments that will appeal to readers of all ages.

Customer Rating:
Summary: worthless
Comment: This book was a complete disappointment. The author is extremely shallow, even stooping to get a laugh over one of her parent's death. Not once did I even smile.
Customer Rating:
Summary: hilarious
Comment: Laughed out loud. Though not yet at the author's age, I roared (but empathetically), at her apt descriptions of her experiences. I love Ms. Ephron and she is at her finest here.

Summary: I Feel Bad About My Neck and other Thoughts.about being a Woman
Comment: Life is interesting. Put a little humor into everyday occurrences and
this book will make you laugh. It starts out talking about people's
necks. Women's purses make another good topic. Family, love, relationships, and more --about being a woman.

Summary: I Feel Bad About My Neck: and other thoughts on being a woman
Comment: Excellent book! I got the book and the audio. I started to read the book and it seemed a little slow in capturing my interest... but I was going to read it any way. Then I had to travel so I took the audio... And let me tell you... it was wondrful. You just have to hear her talking. You have to hear her as she expresses herself on each of the issues she talks about. These are issues I and perhaps other women have forgotten about in years but today laugh or cry about. This book has a mixture of humor, aging, comedy; women's health blended in a memoir about Nora Ephron. You can read the book but you don't really know where she would place the pitch, pace and power of her words until you can hear her. Its like having her talk to you herself. Both book and audio are great. I recommend it... especially if you were born from 1950 on and if you have had a chance to either live in New York or just visit it from time to time... you will enjoy it!
