Dating Big Bird: A Novel

I read this charming book in one sitting. She is funny and insightful.

I picked this book up yesterday just because the title struck me as funny... I couldnt put it down. Dating Big Bird is one of the funniest books Ive read in a long time. Its a great summer read; whether you like fluff or deep literary tomes, youll enjoy this book quite a bit.

Once I read past the fluffy first pages, the meat of the story - the authors deeply honest probing of profession women caught in singledom - fed my own hungry, questioning heart.

Good light read.

I was looking for a book that was a bit lighter than my usual picks. I didnt know that this book was for the desperate to have a baby woman. I am 46 and have a nearly empty nest, and I just could not relate to the main character and even the writing could not keep me engaged.

It felt good to read a book that talks about a single woman who choses her own future and is not dependent on a guy. Its a great SMBC book. The author really shows you what its like to want a family and to chose your on path to get there.

Dating Big Bird is a delightful read about a womans quest for a child. Ellen Franck is in a loving but frozen relationship with Malcolm, a divorced father who lost his only child to leukemia. At 35, Ellen wonders if she will ever be able to have a baby. It certainly doesnt help that every woman she knows is a mother or mother-to-be. That is, except for Amy, an old high school acquaintance Ellen runs into on the streets of New York. The two begin a friendship and wade through intracacies of their own lacking relationships and desires for more. Ellen is supported by a wonderful cast of characters who are both hysterical and endearing. You will want to pick up this quick, funny and heartwarming read to discover Ellens fate. By the end of the book Ellen learns, and we are reminded, that life happens when you begin living it.

Enjoyed this read. Good story which explored the human condition. The characters had depth and the book, overall was well written and it moved along. I liked it.

I took book with me among 6-7 other beach books. I read the others in a snap. But I could easily see that Zigman is different from otherr beach books. She has a different style. I would not call this book a typical Red Dress Ink chick book.. There is more. It is not a shallow, predictable, easy to read book. Zigman makes you think, she teaches you. It is a great read. I liked it a lot, and still finished it within a day. Now that I am back from my vacation, I am going to buy her other book and read it.
