Lucy Talk
The chorus of praise for earlier books by Fiona Walker has been enthusiastic: her five previous international best-sellers have had critics and readers tingling with pleasure at the brilliant one-liners, whimsical plotting and larger-than-life characters. Of course, this kind of acclaim sets up certain expectations, but Lucy Talk is likely to do just as much for Walker's reputation as the much-acclaimed Between Males. The publishers promote her as the "voice of young, media-aware women", and the format of this book (it's told entirely in e-mails and letters) is absolutely right for her tale.
Lucy Gordon, Walker's wacky, beguiling heroine is dealing with a demanding boss (known as Slave Driver), her two critical friends (Jane and Bella) and her family of likeable eccentrics. While everyone tries to draw her attention to the fact that her attractive but fickle boyfriend Greg is taking advantage of her, Lucy's sunny nature blinds her to things that are obvious to everyone else. However, various professional and personal difficulties pitch her into a series of disasters and her equilibrium finally starts to get shaken. Will Walker grant her a happy ending?
This is delightful stuff, and while the e-mail novel is no longer such an innovative concept (perhaps it was when Walker started this), it's still brought off very cleverly here. Plus Walker's skill at finding some middle way between the way people really speak and the more witty discourse of the novel is brilliantly deployed:
He cooked me dinner--yes! This is a first. Admittedly it was only a boil-in-the-bag curry while we were watching a video, but I think it's a positive development in the relationship. I now have two jumpers, a toothbrush, a jar of moisturiser and a pair of jogging trainers in permanent residence at his flat. Am planning to sneak more items in without his noticing over next few weeks in the hope that it will subliminally trigger a sense of security and commitment in him. He's off to a stag party tonight, but I'm popping round first to help him on with his caveman outfit...--Barry Forshaw

I first read Lucy talk when I was about 15, it was one of my favourite books in my teens but I hadn't re-read it in years. Reading it again I got that same feeling of happiness and fun that I had all those years ago. It's a lovely story written through letters, diary entries, emails, notes that chronicles the life of Lucy Gordon. It's a lighthearted, funny, magic book that I've always had a soft spot for.

I don't think my dislike of this book is really the author's fault, just that I am too late to the party - a 400+ page epistolary novel written in emails adapted from a late '90s newspaper column just doesn't have the power to fascinate in 2015.

4,5 stars - English Ebook
Meet Lucy Gordon, the sweet, scatty, irresistible heroine of this delicious novel. Lucy lives in a Berkshire village with her two friends, Jane and Bella, and works in the marketing department of Widgetex Computers.
Her boss, Slave Driver, is a constant bane; her family are lovable eccentrics; her boyfriend, the dishy but fickle Greg, takes shameless advantage of her. And Lucy is too good hearted to notice!
Throughout two action-packed, fun-filled, disaster-strewn years, Lucy charts an erratic course among this motley crew to her very own happy ending.
I loved this book. I would love to be best friends with Lucy. What a lovable character. I was sad when I finished the book. This is a book that could go on forever and never be dull. I highly recommend this book.
I want more of Lucy!

Was hard to read in the beginning. it took me a while to understand the characters and the connections because of the letter format. Also, Lucy's naivety is very unrealistic. However, it developed to kind of a comfort book, I became curious what will happen next and my affection and sympathy to Lucy increased with every page. Moreover, the amount of details described in this book is impressive!

This book was given to me for Christmas 2022 by my 5 year - because it was blue.
Lucy Talks is an epistolary novel which started life as a newspaper column. I feel this may have meant there were a few more pieces of correspondence included than if it had always been a book. Still, despite the 400+ pages of teeny, tiny font (I assume I had the mass paperback version,) I was entertained well enough to keep reading until the end - which was predictable, but not in a bad way. The writing was at times relatable and humorous. Just some good "chick lit" about being young and having to deal with all the weirdos who make up your family, work colleagues and friends. Some of the interactions, especially in the workplace, aren't all that PC - I've been a stay-at-home-mum for 13 years, so I don't know if this has aged since the book was published in 2001, or is still reminiscent of office banter these days?
I took the book camping and I think that was the perfect setting for it... relaxing in the sun at camp or on the beach. Nothing too heavy, so you can still keep track of your children, but a story you are happy to follow along with. I left it in the camp's little library.
Used for: TBR Books Chosen by Others for January. Picked off my shelves by my 13 year old with little effort or enthusiasm!

Leuk boek, zeker. Grappig en goed geschreven, vaak gelachen, met af en toe best nog wat diepere lagen in het personage, de zorgen en problemen van Lucy. Daardoor raakte het boek me soms ook. Het naïeve van Lucy begon me gaandeweg wel te irriteren. In het begin is dat nog leuk en lach je erom, maar uiteindelijk word je er echt een beetje gek van en wil je ook graag een keer naar een einde toewerken in het boek. Uiteindelijk nadert dat einde en gaat het ineens heel erg snel. Dat vond ik jammer. Alsof je daar dan heel lang op "gewacht" hebt en het dan niet helemaal bevredigend is. Daarnaast was ik geshockeerd door de confrontatie met de tijdsgeest waarin het verhaal zich afspeelt. Het seksisme, het grensoverschrijdende gedrag op meerdere fronten, de dieetcultuur... je vergeet haast dat je in diezelfde cultuur bent opgegroeid als je net als ik een nineties kid bent. Gelukkig zijn de tijden nu anders!
Alsnog 4 sterren.

Lucy is a young woman, working for a marketing company and house sharing with her two best friends, Bella and Jane.
The internet and use of emails has just become the norm and Lucy documents her life through a series of emails to her friends and diary/self help notes
Lucy is a very sweet charming character, she is completely disastrous in love and cannot see that the perfect man for her is right in front of her eyes.
This was my first read by Fiona Walker. This book was published in 2001 and there was a nostalgic element reading back to how life was before emails, social media, satnavs etc.
Whilst I found this book to be a light read, at times I was willing there to be more to the story and was getting a bit bored with the predictable storyline.

Really enjoyed this rom com epistolary! It took a while to get going and the obvious romance was frustrating.
I did enjoy finding out different aspects about the character and the email reveal was funny, however, it would have been good to get a detailed view from another characters POV to highlight aspects of Lucy's character that she didn't highlight herself

Lucy Gordon, wanita karir yang bekerja sebagai Staf Pemasaran di sebuah perusahaan komputer yang besar di London, Widgetex, merupakan seorang wanita yang gemar menuliskan apa pun. Ia menulis catatan harian di Microsoft Word-nya, di brosur-brosur, pamflet-pamflet, struk, pokoknya kertas apapun. Ia rutin menuliskan keadaannya dan keluarganya di dalam surat yang dikirim untuk kakak lelakinya yang bekerja di New Zealand. Ia rutin—hampir tiap hari, malahan—mengirim email kepada sahabatnya Mo Lavender yang sedang asyik berkeliing ke negara-negara.
Lucy tinggal bersama kedua sahabatnya di sebuah rumah di Burr Cottage yang menyenangkan, Jane dan Bella. Jane merupakan instruktur mengemudi mobil dan sangat gemar berkuda, ia dikabarkan sedang jatuh cinta dengan teman berkudanya Horsy Tim. Dan Bella merupakan guru seni rupa yang memiliki pacar yang nyentrik, aneh, dan berisik. Dan tetangga mereka, Big Mike yang gendut, dokter hewan yang hobi merayu. Keluarga Lucy sendiri, terdiri dari anggota-anggota yang unik. Mereka tinggal di Roundhead Avenue, dan rutin mengadakan makan siang bersama keluarga pada Hari Minggu. Ibu Lucy, si jago masak, dan selalu terobsesi untuk mengikuti kompetisi Masterchef dan memiliki usaha restoran sendiri. Ayah Lucy gemar dengan alat-alat berkebun, dan selalu menghambur-hamburkan uangnya pada benda yang dianggapnya menarik. Dan Granny, yang masih suka mabuk dan berpacaran dengan lelaki-lelaki lajang seusianya, dan masih gemar clubbing. Lalu Alice, aktivis pecinta lingkungan yang berpacaran dengan sesama aktivis nyentrik.
Lalu Greg. Pacar Lucy, seorang pilot dengan jam terbang tinggi yang terang-terangan memanfaatkan kebaikan Lucy, tapi Lucy terlalu baik—atau terlalu cinta—sampai-sampai tidak melihat kondisinya sekarang. Selain itu, pekerjaan Greg yang menyebabkannya sering jauh dari Lucy memberikan peluang lebih besar untuk selingkuh dari Lucy. Atau mungkin Greg memang sudah melakukannya?
Lalu ada Dave Marks, si Ambisius Dave, yang selalu bersaing dengan Lucy untuk mendapatkan kenaikan posisi.
Mungkin, yang baca review ini bingung, kali ya, kenapa review ini begitu singkat dan isinya Cuma sekedar penokohan aja. Ya, karena sejujurnya, saya pun bingung harus mereview apa dari buku-buku ini. Satu-satunya hal yang jelas dari buku ini adalah penokohan dan karakter mereka. Oke, mungkin ada beberapa masalah, dan dari beberapa masalah tersebut nggak ada satu pun yang menjadi masalah utama. Koreksi, semuanya sebenarnya jadi masalah utama buat Lucy.
Yang bisa saya tangkap nih:
Satu, teman baik Lucy, Mo, ia merupakan orang yang rutin dikirimi email oleh Lucy setelah kakak cowoknya sendiri, dan Mo nggak pernah membalas email Lucy.
Dua, sahabat Lucy, Jane, naksir teman berkudanya tapi temannya sepertinya mengabaikan Jane, Lucy sedih dan ingin membantu.
Tiga, si Greg sepertinya selingkuh. Sebenarnya kalo dari yang saya baca, Greg ini emang nggak sayang dan nggak peduli sama Lucy, mungkin ada potongan-potongan ucapan Greg yang bilang kalo dia menyayangi Lucy, tapi buktinya kurang kuat aja.
Empat, seisi rumah Roundhead Avenue tiba-tiba cekcok.
Lima, Jane berhasil merayu orang tua Lucy buat beli kuda yang ternyata harganya melebihi harga mobil BMW. Yang notabene, ternyata diidam-idamkan oleh Jane, bukan Lucy.
Enam, kuda barunya ternyata nggak menyukai Lucy.
Tujuh, posisi yang diincar oleh Lucy dan Dave ternyata malah beralih ke tangan orang lain. Yang ternyata mendapatkan pekerjaan tersebut karena posisi itu dipasang di korang lowongan kerja.
Dan seabrek masalah Lucy yang lain.
Okay, jadi angsung ke penilaian pribadi aja, nih. Sama seperti dua buku yang sebelumnya saya baca—tepat sebelum baca buku ini, buku ini berisi tentang potongan-potongan kehidupan sehari-hari Lucy Gordon yang tertulis di berbagai kertas, surat dan email.
Tapi, nggak seperti dua novel tersebut, membaca novel ini bikin saya jenuh dan selalu menguap. Jujur saja, saya benar-benar ingin mengetahui ending cerita ini, saking jenuhnya. Sempat kepikir juga buat menghentikan baca saat masih ada di bab awal. Catatan-catatan harian Lucy memang detail, tapi jujur saja, ke-detail-an itu lah yang malah bikin saya jenuh. Kayaknya terlalu banyak informasi buat catatan harian ini. Lagipula, di dalam buku ini, saya nggak menemukan satu pokok masalah. Yang ada malah masalah Lucy yang seabrek dan nggak selesai-selesai. Kesannya seperti, masalah yang ini belum selesai, Lucy harus kedatangan masalah yang lebih baru lagi.
Selain itu, percakapan yang ada benar-benar pelit. Ada sih, tapi kalo aku bilang, kurang banget. Jadi itu satu lagi poin yang bikin poin. Selain itu ada beberapa catatan yang kayaknya nggak penting dan nggak-masalah-kok-kalo-nggak dicantumin. Maksudku, resep memasak ibu Lucy? Buat apa, gitu loh? Dan catatan nilai Bella, kalau cuma buat nunjukin mereka benar-benar sahabat yang dekat dan mereka punya acara rutin berkumpul di suatu bar, okay memang menunjukkan sekali kalo mereka ini sahabat dekat. Tapi lalu, saya membaca tugas-tugas yang diberikan yang berada di akhir catatan penilaian. Oh God, why? Buat apa?
Sebenarnya masalah utamanya, ya cuma satu, nggak ada masalah utama. Dan malah ada banyak sekali masalah-masalah kecil yang terkesan nggak bisa diselesaikan.

In the form of emails, notes, letters, diary etc Lucy talk is a comical account of the life of Lucy Gordon. There are some real laugh out loud moments but overshadowing this are the times when you just want to shake Lucy and say "get real". She is just a but too naive and nice to really believe. I know a lot of her naivety and the non-communication between characters make up some of the comical occurrences but some of it is just a bit to far-fetched. The fact that Lucy continues to email her travelling friend despite never getting an email reply and yet getting the odd postcard that clearly states that she is not receiving them is stupid. The fact that she is so dozy about vet Mike's affections or the way she is treated by her boyfriends - it just doesn't ring true. It might work as a crazy sitcom character but not in this style. A fun quick read but certainly not one of Fiona Walker's best.

This is the first Fiona Walker book I've read, and I really liked it. Written in the form of emails, electronic journal entries, notes on the fridge, and menus, it's very reminiscent of Bridget Jones.[return[returnThe main character, Lucy, is sweet and funny, if a bit blind about what's going on around her. The story revolves around her love life, her mates, her relationship with her naff family, and her work life as a marketing exec for a gadget company. Very funny, and I actually laughed out loud at the end. :)[return[returnIf you're a fan of British chick lit, I recommend giving this one a try.

I bought it at a book sale. It only costs me Rp 15.000. The book is thick and I love the story. The story is about Lucy, she writes her feelings everywhere. Word document, letters, in the back of a brochure, everywhere. But what I love the most is the characters. They are so funny and real. I like Big Mike and I'm glad that finally Lucy realizes everything. That she loves Big Mike and Big Mike likes her too. Greg is a total jerk. I knew it from the very start. OK looks but blah personality. And I love Lucy's crazy family. They are so funny and lively.
Over all, it's an un-putdown-able book.

É verdade que é um livro divertido e que nos faz rir, embora às vezes ficasse irritada com a ingenuidade (para não dizer pior...) da Lucy... Como é possível passar-lhe tanta coisa ao lado, não perceber o que se passa à sua volta?!
Mas lê-se muito bem, o "método" das cartas, notas e afins está engraçado, e ficamos contentes por chegar ao final feliz. Só gostava de ter sabido mais sobre o Big Brother :)

I was really looking forward to reading this book becuase it's written in the form of e-mails, letters etc but when I started to read it, I became 98% sure that I've read this before. It all seemed very familiar. So I was a bit bored at the start of the book, but it picked up half way and was quiet a good read. Lucy was a total dimwit. And I figured out her love life before she did.
July 26, 2011
It reminded me a bit of Briget Jones but instead of diary format this is put together in the form of emails, phone messages, memos, letters and notes left on fridge. I felt this format should not work but it does, the story is quite easy to follow. Lucy is pretty scatty and naive and the story is predictable but is a fun read.
July 1, 2014
I love Fiona Walker as an author, but I personally didn't get into this book like I should have. I just thought that the style was just a little to odd for my liking. I like to feel the surroundings, practically see the characters, but this book didn't do that because of the way it is written with emails, blogs, notes etc.
June 4, 2015
I'm not quite sure about this book. I enjoyed to read the story with only the letters and notes, the writing is nice and funny, the characters as well. My problem is that in the all book, I wanted the main character, Lucy, to learn about what happened to her, to improve, to assert herself... and... it's not happening (even if there is, of course, changes in her life)
July 11, 2011
My least favourite Fiona Walker book by far. Too bitty, the girl in it you want to throttle as the 'will they - won't they' is so obvious and long winded I almost gave up. Almost a parody of Walker's other books. Ok. Just.

Loved Mike, bless him! Loved how this was written in diary, note, blog and email form. One of my all time fave chick-lits!

I loved the way this story was told through messages and notes!

ringan, lucu seperti umumnya chicklit. lumayan jd selingan diakhir pekan. cuma agak nyebelin karena modelnya kumpulan imel tokoh utamanya.
