The most accidentally funny book you've read?

[Lexiesgirl]

'The Mistress' by Martine McCutcheon. I read it in high hopes that it would be absolutely terrible and I wasn't remotely disappointed. I honestly believe she did write it herself because it is simply so shite. The length of description for everything ("after applying her favourite red Chanel lipstick, Mandy put on her Burberry raincoat, grabbed her Radley umbrella, and left the house, closing the door behind her by pulling the knocker, and headed towards Waitrose to buy a Diet Coke and a Grazia..."). An absolute wimp of a 'hero'. The least likeable main character I have ever come across.

I couldn't recommend it more.

Yours?

haha,great review.dripping cliches and bad prose
well done martine
for me it's I don't know how she does it
it's clichetastic
snotty childless female colleague
alpha male
stinking rich but ditzy north Ldn mum
it has all in spade loads but strangely compelling read. no suprises, a few titters, and easy to read

shopaholic falls into same book by type cliches

I'm sure that I read that a certain Matthew Wright co-authored that McCutchon book

I really laughed a lot reading Getting Over It by Anna Maxted.

Her dad dies,but it is bloody funny. (the book,not her fathers death)

actually he wrote her autobiog

Without a doubt, The Da Vinci Code.

There was a very very long parody thread running somewhere, forget where, which was pantwettingly funny, yet soooo close to the real thing it was almost frightening.
