About this product

Product Information

Jen Lancaster hates to burst your happy little bubble, but life in the big city isn't all it's cracked up to be. Contrary to what you see on TV and in the movies, most urbanites aren't party-hopping in slinky dresses and strappy stilettos. But lucky for us, Lancaster knows how to make the life of the lower crust mercilessly funny and infinitely entertaining. Whether she's reporting rude neighbors to Homeland Security, harboring a crush on her grocery store clerk, or fighting-and losing-the Battle of the Stairmaster- Lancaster explores how silly, strange, and not-so-fabulous real city living can be. And if anyone doesn't like it, they can kiss her big, fat, pink, puffy down parka.

Bright Lights,Big Ass by Jenn Lancaster(2007,Paperback)
What can I say? This is a great book. Jenn Lancaster is one of the funniest,best female writers that I have had the pleasure to read! She is a true person. She has a snarky side but still tries to be a good person. She says what we all think but don't have the nerve to say.I enjoy reading her stories, It takes you into the story and you picture yourself in her place.Sometimes I would love to react the way she does. She has the personality to say what is on her mind. She makes no apologies for who she is or how she thinks. Her and Fletch seem to be a match made in heaven. They go together so well in many aspects but clash in others. Just enough to make the relationship topics very funny. A very fast book to read. I will read all of her books and recomend that you do too. Once you pick up ... What can I say? This is a great book.

Buy the whole set, because as soon as you are done you will move onto the next book. I give this book 5 stars!!!!!!!

Great book!
It's hilarious! If you like her first book, Bitter is the New Black, this is a continuation of Jen's biting (but hysterical)sarcasm, funny footnotes, and ridiculous stories she seems to encounter constantly in the city. I love all books by this author as her writing is perfect for fun, summer reading. I would suggest that you read Bitter first though, as she refers to some really great stories from it in Bright Lights, Big Ass.It's hilarious!

COULDN'T PUT DOWN!
I decided to buy this book because I read Ms. Lancaster's first book Bitter is the New Black and loved it! So, I figured the second one had to be just as good and it totally was...actually it was better I think! For never having read a book for pleasure in my life (I'm 27), I could not stop reading this one. I would read it before work, at lunch, before bed, whenever I had a few extra minutes. Not only did it keep my interest, but it was hilarious. I have never laughed out loud while reading ANYTHING, like I did while reading this book. And the best part, is almost anyone can relate in some way to Jen. She's one of those women who says what everyone else thinks. I'm now on her 3rd book, Such a Pretty Fat, and I can't put that one down either! Highly recommended readings!I decided to buy this book because I read Ms. Lancaster's first book Bitter is the New Black and loved it!

OMG Funny as it Sounds-Everyone can relate to this one!
I purchased this book after becoming enthralled with her newest book: Such A Pretty Fat. The writing is clever, stimulating and she presents dead on summarizations of people and situations. This book did NOT disappoint. I have been stuck in the murder/mystery genre, and was compelled to purchase SUCH A PRETTY FAT after reading a small review in People Magazine. I could NOT put this one or her other two books down. The wit, and humor are "laugh out loud" hysterical. The book is slightly peppered with a few choice words, but none are gratuitous just to write them on paper, and more to emphasize her point. I could envision her as my newest best friend, as I could completely relate to EVERYTHING she writes about. My only disappointment was that she wasn't sitting in my living room ...

My only disappointment was that she wasn't sitting in my living room telling me these hysterical situations personally. Her humor may NOT be for everyone, but if you are sarcastic, narciassistic, and have a few pounds to spare that you aren't completely freaked out about-and can find humor in-then I thionk that you will ADORE this book as much as I have.

More biting wit from Princess Jen
My only complaint about "Bright Lights, Big Ass" is that is it disjointed and difficult to follow at times. Less of a continuous story than its predecessor, "Bitter is the New Black," this book is more of a series of essays. I wish the segues would have been a bit different and the timelines clearer. I started off some essays confused as to where she was living and working. That said, Jen Lancaster's writing is still spectacular and hilarious. The flow is most likely her editor's fault. If you liked her first one, you'll like this one. I'm going to give the third one a try in hopes its flow is better than this one. Because really? I do love Jen.My only complaint about "Bright Lights, Big Ass" is that is it disjointed and difficult to follow at times.
