I really enjoyed this novel and its epistolary format. Although the main character is neurotic and acid, but she is also extremely intelligent and quite, quite funny. I thoroughly enjoyed unraveling the mystery of Bernadette's disappearance. The only fly in the ointment was the husband's character, way too absorbed by his work to give any time to his family.

This book stands up to its popular reputation. Funny yes but some great social commentary is woven throughout the story. I’m so glad I didn’t let it’s popularity deter me from reading this book. Topic for discussion in my opinion would be whether or not this book has a happy ending ? My guess is that opinions will differ.
My Reading Bingo choice for a Funny Book. It was a lot of fun to read. Gnats, what a word! I related to Bernadette a bit. : )
This book was fun, interesting, unique, occasionally laugh out loud and had a great mother daughter relationship. Loved it.
Refreshingly different. A smart writer. I'd like to read more by her.
