Alison has it all. She has an oh-so trendy job as a newspaper columnist writing about the single life. Her live-in boyfriend, Tom, is terrific. They have lots of good friends who come over for dinner parties. At one of these parties, Alison sends Tom out for some mustard and he never comes back. Not only is Alison appalled that he dumped her while they had company, but she is amazed that he thought so little of their relationship. When bad luck hits, it hits hard. Soon, Alison is unemployed. Her ex-boss and ex-fling Henry is dating her archenemy--the witless daily columnist of the other local paper. Then Tom returns, with the mustard. Seriously bad timing on Tom's part. Hilarious and heartbreaking, combining the emotional incisiveness of Jane Austen with the up-to-the-minute frankness of "Sex and the city," The big love will be the pass-along must-read novel for years to come.… (mer)

Very funny at first, got a little repetitive ( )

Qué puede hacer Alison cuando, de repente, Tom la deja plantada en medio de una cena de amigos para volver con su antigua novia de la facultad, una mujer que, según él mismo confiesa, es “como una droga”? De entrada, no mucho, pero tras pasar por una profunda crisis en la que se cuestiona con gran ironía todas sus creencias sobre las relaciones, el sexo y su propia educación conservadora, Alison toma las riendas de su vida y sale en busca del “gran amor”.

My mom had passed this one on to me. Straight on fluff doesn't always do it for me. It was easy to read, but Alison was a bit flat and annoying and removed from her problems. I left it in a hotel drawer. (September 16, 2006) ( )

There was a lot to like and dislike about this book. I really enjoyed the chatty-Cathy voice it was written in. I think while it did get a little annoying and boring at times like the other reviews have stated, it was refreshing. It was a great representation of that type of character or woman - the one that will spill her guts the moment after you stop shaking her hand.

However, I think what steered this away from a Stephanie Plum (Janet Evanovich) type of feel was that the chattiness of the character made the book spend way too much time on backstory. There was so much telling, that nothing really happened in the book. And when something in the present would happen, it would happen really fast to give way to the character venting her feelings. I feel like there could have been more of a balance.

Likewise, I didn't enjoy the religious aspects of the book. At one point, the book states that Judaism doesn't believe in an afterlife which is completely false. I also felt that the gay characters were used as tokens rather than actual friends.

Overall, it was a nice, easy-breezy traveling read. Served me well on my trip. ( )

To be fair to him, there is probably no way that Tom could have left that would have made me happy.
