    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this book tremendously. Though the main character Honey/Betsy Lou is described on the blurb as plotting murder, and though she actually does take some action in that regard, this is an amusing book. I was reminded of Chick Lit, though Chick Lit is never this twisted.<br/><br/>Precis: Hon...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79382181">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great book. With such a biting charm. And the character of the young woman is so wonderfully mercenary. Actually, there are a lot of not so nice characters in the book. But I still felt drawn in to their little stories, hang ups and foibles. And what a comeuppance!

    <![CDATA[In <em>The Dud Avocado</em>, Elaine Dundy revealed the life of the young expatriate in Paris in all its hilarious and heartbreaking drama. With <em>The Old Man and Me</em>, written when Dundy was living in England in the early 1960s, she tackles the American girl in London, a bit older but certainly no wiser. <br/>       <br/>Honey Flood (if that’s her real name) arrives in London with only her quick wits and a scheme. To get what she wants, she’ll have to seduce the city’s brightest literary star, no matter how many would-be bohemians she has to charm, how many smoky jazz clubs she has to brave, or how many Lady Something-Somethings she has to humor. But with success within her reach, Honey finds that in making the Soho scene, she’s made a big mistake.]]>

With <em>The Old Man and Me</em>, written when Dundy was living in England in the early 1960s, she tackles the American girl in London, a bit older but certainly no wiser. <br/>       <br/>Honey Flood (if that’s her real name) arrives in London with only her quick wits and a scheme.
