I love Caitlin Moran's writing, so I was excited to read this collection of her published pieces. They ranged from lighthearted and funny to gritty and truthful, which I appreciated. However, if you are not a fan of the same TV shows that she is, a chunk of this book will be irrelevant to you. She included multiple reviews of both "Downton Abbey" and "Sherlock" that I ended up flipping past, but if you also watch those shows then you would probably enjoy those ones. Overall, an easy read in bite-size pieces.

Caitlin Moran's collection of Times columns is an easy read, often hilarious and sometimes thought-provoking. I don't always agree with everything she writes - especially about McCartney and the Beatles! - but it's always readable.

Not as good as her other book, but still enjoyable.

Sometimes the best bits of this collection of articles, interviews, and essays are the commentaries Moran has written to precede them. The foreword, for example, nearly made me pee my pants. But everything is enjoyable to read, and the accounts of Moran's late-night chats with her husband are especially (screamingly) funny. Love this British lady.

Really funny stuff. I'm definitely going to be looking for Moran's other book.

Autorka píše absolútne fantasticky a ja som si knihu naozaj užila. Miestami som sa dosť smiala.
Ale boli tu aj slabšie články (niežeby boli zle napísané) a neaktuálne.
No čo, od autorky si chcem prečítať všetko.
A strašne by som sa s ňou raz chcela stretnúť a pokecať s ňou, určite by to bol zážitok.

Caitlin Moran follows up with an equally honest, timely and hilarious collection of pieces . She somehow manages to tackle heavy topics with incredible lightness, but not so far as to minimize their significance. There are time when I laughed out loud, and times when my heart felt heavy, in sympathy with her. She gives a voice to the everywoman

Hahahaha, I think I need a lie down now.
So, what can I possibly say about Moranthology which hasn't already been said before?
In a nutshell, it's bloody fantastic, very accessible, loaded with sharp wit, an ever-discerning eye and pumped full of silliness. If Moranthology was a dessert, it would be a mash-up of all your favourites with some sprinkles added on top.
Caitlin Moran does what she does best - she puts her heart and soul into everything she writes, and in the process mocks herself quite a lot. She is a fun-loving free spirit and I fully salute her chaotic craziness. She is a breath of fresh air which I hope to channel one day.
In this collection of columns, she discusses the art of chivalry and the reason why it's dying (which turns out to be all womens' doing), why she doesn't agree with giving kids party bags at the end of a birthday, why she thinks Lola out of Charlie and Lola is an unsuitable role model for all young girls (including her daughters) and why she made a terrible terrible stoner. Oh, and there are also some amusing snippets involving bedtime conversation with her husband, Pete.
Moranthology is a MUST for Moran fans so what are you waiting for? Go, get it and revel in some light-hearted silliness. You won't even notice Winter's on its way!
And, Caitlin, you can't copyright your hair because I want it and by god, one day I'll have it!
