USA Today headlined "The Broke Diaries is the New Economy's version of Down and Out in Paris and London, George Orwell's 1933 book about the urban poor...unsentimental prose and wicked sense of humor." (full USA Today review can be found here).

Chris Rock - "The best book I've read since Snoopy Come Home!" (bless his heart, he gave me permission to use this quote for the book cover.)

Mademoiselle Magazine - "Being tapped out sucks, but the deft way Nissel transforms the ordeals of poverty into funny, reassuring anecdotes makes it an almost enviable condition."

Honey Magazine - "Her searing laugh-out-loud commentary makes this a must have.."

Publishers Weekly - "Charming and sharp..." (full review can be found on The Broke Diaries'  Amazon.com page.)

The Durham Independent - "Besides the long-assed title, what makes the book special is her biting and often downright bizarre humor in the face of circumstances that would otherwise be anything but funny...It's a veritable compendium of broke knowledge" (taken from Derek Jenning's April 11, 2001 column.)

Jennifer Weiner (The Philadelphia Inquirer) - "Hilarious, irreverent..." (quote taken from Jennifer's May 9, 2001 column. Jennifer is also the author of Good in Bed.)

msjae (taken from everything2.com) - "...it is 2:05AM, and I am still awake because I had to finish the whole thing...Funny and hip and cool and great...genius writer..." (I promise on my book sales that I have no idea who "msjae" is! I ran across her ful l review while fiendishly searching for something online about my book.)

Village Voice - "Nissel's sassy, snappy voice easily carries the full lightness of this unpretentious book...good humor and off-beat common sense..."

There's also a plethora of reviews in my guestbook, as well as on Amazon.com's site!
