I'm going to be 100% honest here, I only bought this because Patrick Ness had a story in it. That's also the reason it's on my favourites shelf, I LOVED NESS'S SHORT STORY! Everything else was more of the same, either talking about how they hated their boobs but then started to love them when they got older, or talking about their mum's boobs, etc. There were some very creative ones though, like the poems or images. Those were the ones I enjoyed the most.
The Booby Trap is a hilarious and heart-warming collection of essays and short stories by celebrities about their relationships with boobs – edited by the ever-fabulous Dawn O’Porter, with proceeds going to charity. I picked it up in Poundland of all places; keep an eye out for it cos it’s worth a read.This mini review first appeared on A Cornish Geek on 12 May 2017https://acornishgeek.com/2017/05/12/t...
I had such hi hopes for this book but it failed, the same stories over and over again.
THIS BOOK WAS RAISING MONEY FOR A GOOD CAUSE WHICH IS ALWAYS A GOO BUT ALTHOUGH IT WAS EASY REad and the chapters easy to read and a pretty wide variety it seemed to follow the same thread of boobs to big and small but yer raises the profile so that cant be bad
Rating: 4.5 StarsSo, in case you hadn’t already guessed this book is about boobs. Yes, BOOBS. I’ll be honest, I never really though about mine much before I read this. I just stuff them into a bra on a daily basis and get on with life, but when you think about boobs in general you realise they’re kinda amazing. Well, I did anyway. And nothing compares to the feeling of taking your bra off at the end of the day. Anyway, back to the book! This is a lovely little collection of stories, confessions...
Whilst it's great that this book is to make money for breast cancer charities, it really isn't a great book, just a lot of people talking about boobs, usually their own and usually along the lines of "I remember growing boobs, they were small, now they're big". Plus, it's actually pretty insensitive for someone who has had breast cancer and has had a mastectomy (me) to read all these stories about how people want boob jobs, people who have had boob jobs, people who panicked about being flat ches...
What an amazing book for an amazing cause. I feel like all young girls/women should read this. And men too. But mostly women.
You should get this book if only because you’d be donating to charity.This book is exactly what you think it is. About boobs. A collection of different people talking about them. I especially liked it at the beginning, but grew a bit bored as some stories were very similar. However there were real great ones and just the idea of it to spread awareness for breast cancer is great.
some stories I really liked, others where just okay but overall an enjoyable collection.
some stories were funny. But a charity book. So all good intentions!
This book is for an excellent cause: the proceeds go to breast cancer research, so you should buy it just for that. Although it was full of famous people saying often hilarious things about boobs, I quickly got bored of how often the story was 'my boobs didn't grow until I was 18/my boobs are too small'. As a...well endowed lady, I found this kind of annoying, I would have much rather read people complaining about how much big boobs suck, but instead chapter after chapter were about late-develop...
Really enjoyed this anthology of tit bits. Should be mandatory reading for teenage girls.
Great concept for raising money for a worthy cause. However, not as good as I had hoped. Most of the stories are pretty much the same with each author writing a similar story of having no boobs in their early teens & being miserable and then growing big boobs as an adult! Became quite monotonous after a while. It only deserves 1 star but given 2 as money goes to Breast Cancer charities.
I found the stories very hit and miss and it got a little samey by the end of the book. But it's for a fantastic cause (£1 from the sale of every book goes to breast cancer charities) so definitely don't let me put you off!
this book had good stories to begin with and i read 60 percent of it and then i just got bored it's 2 stars because i enjoyed the first ones but the rest seemed to be complete garbage i've never rated a book this low.
Marian Keyes' story is funny. The rest, not so much. Plus, Caitlin Moran hasn't written an article at all - it's just a captioned picture. Disappointing.
A nice compilation of stories about boobs, and for a great cause!
Warning!To all Caitlin Moran fans out there: if you are buying this book and hoping for an article not included in Moranthology, then you'll be disappointed. There is a really funny picture relevant to the book, but I thought you should know so that you know what you're getting into. While I did have some difficulty getting thought the first 50 or so pages of this book, overall, I ended up having a good time and I can safely say it was because of the skill of the authors. They brought out so muc...
A pleasant, easy, fun read. Some many different & great contributions. Well put together & for a great cause & awareness.
great cause . however thought the book would be funny. it just felt like a super long comic relief ad. was a nice idea that didnt really turn out well.
