A quick read, amusing, some good cartoons thrown in there. Very lightweight - one doesn't have to have been a deep reader of literature to get most of these. (Though all the guys out there may not get the jokes about Meg, Beth, Jo and Amy.)

I didn't get all of the jokes (which means I need to read more--and that is definitely true), so I'm going to have to revisit this one day in the future. The ones I did get, though, were hilarious and I enjoyed them a lot.

Clever concept, especially enjoyable for literature nerds, but the overall writing style was only ho-hum.

Very, very cute. You definitely need to be an English major and Starbucks fan to get it, though- so it has a pretty narrow audience. I happen to fit. :)

This was hilarious! I'll admit to only understanding about 30 percent of the references, but the ones I did get were spot on!

When I heard about this book, I had to get it. I love Starbucks and I love books, so this is the best of both worlds.
In this book, many beloved authors and literary characters go into Starbucks and order coffee. Each order matches either their life, story, or writing style. These were so clever and accurate! Here are some of my favourites:
“Mary Ann Evans goes up to the counter and gives her name as George Eliot.”
“Jack London goes up to the counter with twelve sled dogs in tow.”
“Atticus Finch goes up to the counter and orders the one drink on the menu that no one else was brave enough to get.”
One negative thing about this book was that there were a lot of authors or characters that I had never heard of, or I didn’t know enough about them to understand the jokes. But the ones that I did understand made me laugh out loud.
This is a great book for book lovers!

Good and quick little read. Sadly I really thought I would be a bigger fan of this. Could just be that the ebook was weirdly formatted.
