I hope Cynthia Kaplan is writing another book,February 26, 2006
When I was about three essays into reading WHY I’M LIKE THIS, I logged on to Amazon.com to see if I could order something else that Cynthia Kaplan had written. I was enjoying WHY I’M LIKE THIS that much. I was surprised to find so many negative or lukewarm reviews about the book at that time. As I continued to read the book, I kept waiting for the essay collection to go downhill, as the reviews had led me to believe it would, but that never happened. The essays in the collection were all winners, in my opinion.
So why was I so dazzled by this little-talked-about book? I was impressed by Kaplan’s hilarious style and her ability — and willingness — to put herself and her family under the microscope in order to make some very honest observations about life. When she puts motherhood under the microscope, she is particularly frank. I found her essays on this subject to be some of the most honest and perceptive I’ve come across anywhere.
I highly recommend this collection of essays to anyone who enjoys reading writing that is genuinely funny, entertaining, and honest — as opposed to writing that seeks to impress with its cleverness. I hope this is simply the first of many books to come from this perceptive and entertaining author.

Enjoy the dysfunction, presented in a lighter tone,October 17, 2005
If you enjoy essays commenting on life’s absurdities to provoke a laugh, this book is for you. The shining star of the book was Kaplan’s tale of how her therapist became completely unhinged, and Kaplan watched the train wreck from the patient’s chair. The reader is also treated to her experiences waitressing in an overpriced bistro, her career playing lesbian characters in several different plays for one director, one long night hopped up on caffeine and 8 Midols, and more. Later chapters focus on life with her small children, which I think will be appreciated the most by other people with children. Overall, this book is a quick read divided up into some great anecdotes, and it comes highly recommended.
