I don't review books I don't like. I'm an author and I think there should be some professional courtesy among authors. If you don't like a book and you write books, especially in the Indie community, it is always better to just politely say nothing at all. I know when other authors rate my books poorly and write a critical review it always ticks me off and, frankly, feels a little suspect. Sorry. Just my opinion. SO! Having said that, please believe me when I say, this book rocked and I have no ulterior motive or reason to review it other than I really, really enjoyed it.

5 by the mighty power of Thor stars!!!
Neanderthal Seeks Human really is a smart romance. Smart, funny, sexy and all around wonderful! I listened to this on audio and towards the end found myself doing extra housework and keeping busy just so I could finish it! It was one of those addictive reads I didnt want to put down!
Janie Morris is one of those heroines you want to be BFFs with. Shes quirky, intelligent, hilarious and just so fantastically random. Janie has been having a rough time. All within a day shes broken it off with her boyfriend, lost her apartment, and got downsized from her... ...more

The thing I HATE about romance books on Goodreads is they always receive this insanely high star rating that is not at all accurate (50 Shades)! It makes me soooo mad!
No, wait, let me calm down and go over the things I liked:
1. It wasn't too bad insta-love which was unusual for how cheesy this whole novel actually was.
2. The protagonist could have been interesting. In a way she was very unique and different.
3. Okay...well I guess that was all I got.
Things I hated:
1. The writing was awful. Grammatical errors, spelling errors, weird phrasing, strange metaphors... it was all bad.
2. The plot... ...more

DNF 64% : This kind of book reminds me why I barely read chick-lit anymore. I mean, I could probably finish it, but then my Kindle would be in a great deal of peril I guess. I can't do this.
Exceptionally my list review won't be positive, as in, it's more everything that I DON'T want to find in my romance than anything else.
I certainly don't want a so-called special snow-flake as an heroine with whom I enter in OH COME ON territory right away.
► She thinks she's not attractive, while she obviously IS : "You're beautiful, even if you don't believe it. A lot of guys, and, I mean, a lot of gu... ...more

Heartwarming And Hilarious
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. 'Neanderthal Seeks Human' was a sweet, laugh-out-loud, romance. I was smiling like a loon while I listened to this story during my daily commute. I'm sure the other drivers thought I was off my rocker.
Right from the start, I felt like I had been pulled into Janie's orbit. She isn't your typical heroine. In fact, she's kind of weird...but in a totally endearing way. Always rambling on about some little known, and often irrelevant, fact, she definitely had her share of quirks.
When Janie catches her boyfriend cheating on her, she pro... ...more

*2.5 stars*
I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer over here, but with all the hype with this story, I was just expecting... more.
This book is described as a "smart romance," when in reality it is simply the typical trope of the billionaire/millionaire player guy with baggage who doesn't want to settle down for anyone but makes an exception for his special snowflake, who happens to be a naive, virgin-esk young girl. (aka, Fifty Shades of Grey) And Jane is too tall (!) with too big of a butt and boobs that are too big (!), but doesn't realize she is attractive at all... of course.
I'm not sayin... ...more

This was SUCH a fun read. Funny, funny, funny, with a side of nerdy humor and a few little twists that keep the story interesting, it was hard to put down.
Janie is one of the quirkiest and most unforgettable characters. She's super smart but not socially savvy. She loves designer heels and has a constant run of trivial facts running through her overactive brain that she ends up spouting when she's nervous. The book starts out on the worst day in her recent memory, the day she catches her longtime live in boyfriend cheating, realizes that she's actually not very upset about it, which is up... ...more

3 long winded stars
Mild Spoilers ahead
I really thought I would like Neanderthal Seeks Human more than I did. All my friends loved it and here I am again the minority, because I really didn't get into this read. I read some reviews that said this book was so funny, but I didn't laugh, not once. I kept wondering if I was reading the same books as everyone else. It's not that I hated the book, because I didn't. I sat after reading this book for 12 hours to try to figure out why I just didn't connect to this book and I only thing I can think of is it's too long winded. See when I started the... ...more

4 **Hotty McHotpants** STARS
I'm still smiling. So adorable and cute and funny and weird. A really fantastic read or listen if you will. I did a little mix of ebook and audiobook here and it was delightful. The narrator had an amazing voice and I really enjoyed listening to her. I actually lost quite a few hours over the last two days being sucked into Janie's world and I don't regret one second of it.
Neanderthal Seeks Human was my very first full Penny Reid book. I know that's crazy, right? Well, I read The Hooker and the Hermit... ...more
