    I made the mistake of watching this godawful thing and still have a bad taste in my mouth. It was a cleansing experience to read what the critics said.

    I shall not waste precious breathing time to watch this inane series. I would much rather read a good book.

    A piece of Mr. Butters excrement. Unfortunately you won't find a diamond ring even if you used a power washer. I can't believe I withstood the pain of that hour.

    Give me a break, this show makes Desperate Housewives look like a freakin' documentary. Two words: As If.

    I watched this show because the critics said it was a great new show to watch. Well, they were wrong. This show is horrible. I found it really difficult to care about these women at all. Do not waste your time. I will not watch again. It's basically junk food for your soul. I feel sorry for these women. They should give away all their money and learn to be caring, down to earth human I watched this show because the critics said it was a great new show to watch. Well, they were wrong.

    Ugh! I used to be a stay-at-home mom, and I never even had time to complain about things like these women do! And as for Kirin--31??--I don't think so honey. They may be rich in money, but they are the most shallow, self-centered group of *itches to come down the pike in a long time! Shame on ALL of them. I will never watch again.

    it's a "we''re pretty with too much money and nothing to do so let's play dress up and make a tv show of our so-called lives" show!

    Worst show ever. Can't tell if this is reality tv or just really bad acting. And TOTALLY unbelievable.

    All I can say is, CBS has GOT to be kidding! What pure, unadulterated drivel. And I find it hard to believe it is not scripted.

    Awful.. so glad it's not going to be on anymore. I've lived in Scottsdale almost all my life, and they really gave the place a bad rap. This was the most unrealistic 'reality' show I've ever had the displeasure of watching.

    This is THE WORST reality show because it's NOT a reality show at all. It's just a staged half-baked idea about people who have less brains and more money and time than they know what to do with. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

    This is the strangest show. I have the feeling that scenarios are scripted and then ad-libbed in the way that cheap porn movies are ... stopping short of the graphic sex. Yuk!

    I tuned in to this show only because I grew up in Phoenix and lived in Scottsdale for about 6 years after college...Wildy disappointed. I would have rated this show a 0 if it hadn't been for Mr. Butters!

    Could this show get any worse? These women need a "reality check" not a "reality show".

    After watching for 10 min I couldn't take anymore and switched channels. Then I kept checking back to see if it was really as bad as I thought. Each time the answer was "Yes!".

    Book club? Please. These Scottsdale, Ariz., women don't read. They whine, they shop, and they obsess over the way they look. [16 Jun 2006, p.71]

    "Book Club" is one of those "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" series. You know, the kind that promote themselves as giving unvarnished looks into real-life issues facing women in a variety of situations but that mostly exist to exploit them.

    One of the more awful projects to hit CBS prime time in years.
