Another silly book for brainless summer reading.

I read the whole book, which is good, but never really loved it. I was hoping for something more - more laughs, more romance, more drama - any or all of the above.

Best part of this book was how it spawned a two day FB discussion about the possibility of eating one of every snack in the company vending machine.

Borrow this or skip it.

Light story of the abuse suffered by the "bond girl". Not much of a plot but a few of the anecdotes are very funny. If you just want an easy read (which is exactly what I was looking for when I picked it up), it's good. But compared to an expose like Liars Poker (Lewis), Bond Girl is a far cry. ( )

The author claims she wrote this to show how much she loved Wall Street, but the message that comes across is that Wall Street is a sh#$ place to work and sexual harassment, and worse, are considered part of the job if you're female. The book was surprisingly lame considering the stellar review I had read and which had caused me to pick it up in the first place. ( )

Actually more of a 2 1/2 stars.A chick-lit. Started off quite well. But as it went on I wasn't truly convinced. Not as good as some of the better chick-lit books but can be read. ( )

I really found myself rooting for Alex. The "inside" story was fascinating and often funny. ( )
