Editorial Review: Trinny and Susannah Take on America is a journey of self-discovery in which clothes and presentation are the first steps in initiating change. With verve and humor, Trinny and Susannah target several types of women—from the harried housewife to the tomboy—and guide them to the fashion, hair, and makeup styles that suit their particular figures, ages, incomes, and outlooks on life. Featuring real American women, this book gives you the tools to feel confident, attractive and, most of all, proud to be yourself.

Rating:  - Makes over sterotypes and not real women
I got this book after reading What not to Wear in hopes that it would give me some more fashion advice. I was sadly mistaken. The book show streotyical pictures of the stressed out house wife, the over worked business owner and makes them over. It has funny remarks about how differnt times make you and the impressions they give off. However, it is not as goood as What not to wear as far as the advice.
You don't get the specifics as to what you can do at home to make you look good. ... Read More
Rating: - Missed the mark for me...American women are not space aliens!
I found myself mildly ticked off and saw what the authors were trying to do with their opening remarks on the introduction page... "Where were we to hunt down the track-suited lady who had devoted her life to Krispy Kremes? Not on the streets of London or Liverpool."
Folks, over 1 in 5 of the British population is obese, track suits are commonly worn by a good chunk of the population, and even funnier yet -- they're wearing American brands, American labels, and even NY Yankees hats and ... Read More
Rating: - yet another
I can't believe they're still managing to milk the same darn cow. The cheek. What will they come up with next? Europe by geographical area or something like that? I don't see how anyone can take advice from two women who seem to live in 6 inch heels - I know I look much taller (sic!) and slimmer when I don a pair for a dinner where I know I'be ferried to and fro. Or from a woman who must have once been told that she should never wear a bra and should always wear tops made of fabric that makes it ... Read More
Rating: - Not worth the money
Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of the authors. But this is just a fund raiser for them between jobs. It took about 15 minutes to look through, and I thought I must have missed something. So I really sat down to go through the book and it took me less than an hour. So dissapointed. At least in the TV series you got a look at several outfits that would suit the individual, but in this book you get a set-up bad shot and then "how wonderful" only one after shot. You get Trinny and Susannah hiding ... Read More
Rating:  - truly a fun read
I found this book to be an absolutely lovely commentary on some American stereotypes, and to contain fabulous advice on how to improve our not only our looks but also our self-worth and well-being. There's a little bit of many of us in many of the characters presented here -- the busy mom who lets herself go; the "larger eccentric" who craves attention; the woman whose best years were in the '80s and so strives to relive them through her wardrobe... The authors begin by assuring the reader that these truly ... Read More
