Where'd You Go, Bernadette Book Reviews
Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple Book Summary
A misanthropic matriarch leaves her eccentric family in crisis when she mysteriously disappears in this "whip-smart and divinely funny" novel that inspired the movie starring Cate Blanchett (New York Times).
Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect; and to 15-year-old Bee, she is her best friend and, simply, Mom.
Then Bernadette vanishes. It all began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle -- and people in general -- has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic.
To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, and secret correspondence -- creating a compulsively readable and surprisingly touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.

Beach book. Great for the beach! Entertaining and creative.
Oh, what fun. ...it was to read this delightful book. I resented every thing that took me away from it. It was so different from anything else I've read - and that's hundreds of books. At first, I thought it was a Jody Picoult type of read, but was soon disabused of that notion. This is money well spent for entertainment.
Where did you go Bernadette. Loved this book. So well written and stayed true to the end.
!. All I can say it is so true about Seattle and the Gnats! Love this book!
Where'd you go Bernadette. Thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish!
A must read!. I devoured this book over a two day period. The humor and emotion was so real and easy to relate to. Getting absorbed into this story was like a mini vacation in cuckoo land but one that I didn't want to end. You come out in the end loving all of the characters for their flaws and their honesty. So cleverly written, so enjoyable to read, so easily to become obsessed with. I want to "hang" with Bernadette! And I want Bee to be there with us.
Did I miss something?. Great story, rushed ending.
Witty, enthralling, and devastatingly, fabulously relatable. What a great time. Couldn't put it down.
Simply great!!!. Once you start reading you won't stop until finishing! This is one of the best book I had ever read! highly recommended :)
Ehhh โฆ OK, but not Outstanding. I was enthusiastic by all the great reviews but I found this book to be only so-so and had to force myself to finish it. The dialog was annoying and the book had so many insignificant details that just took up space, not really adding anything to the book. I'm a voracious reader and go through 1-2 books a week and I'm glad I only wasted a Saturday on this one.
Where'd you go, Bernadette?. Great Book. Loved it. Loved everything about it
Read it!. Highly entertaining, great writing!
Fun fun fun. Extremely well written, engaging and above all, a lot of fun. What a delightful read!
Depressing book. Slow moving, and depressing book. I wouldnโt recommend it to anyone. It was a waste of money.
A Hell'uva Good Time. What a great story! Fully developed quirky characters that screamed "like me". I read it in 3 days because I just had to know what was coming next. Haven't had so much fun reading in a long time!
What did I just read???. Eh... Funny, but not good. I usually love all books, but this one was hard to like. Characters were boring and story was way too hard to follow. Don't bother.
Unique amazing read. This books main character is so relatable. Fantastic, funny , sweet book.
Boring. I love to read, and when I saw this was coming to the theater, I immediately bought it. I tried multiple times to get through this book and would have to go back and reread parts due to uninteresting characters and the way it jumped around. I wouldnโt read for days, so I would have to go back and look to see who they were talking about. I read about 57% and never went back.
Excellent read. This book is funny, entertaining and hard to put down. Such an interesting look into a families life and so lighthearted. Great summer beach read and for anyone planning a trip to Antartica soon!
A Gem!. Smart, witty, educational, an all-around good read!
Hilarious, witty sarcastic and pessimistic view of a jaded middle aged mom. So many mothers will relate to the impulsive reactions Bernadette has to over involved and elitist parents who are invested in their childโs KINDERGARTEN acceptance. You know whatโs coming down the ramp when this kid is college application ready. Great story of an artistic genius who doesnโt conform to the norms, exhibits quirky, off the cuff behavior but does this quirkiness have more to it?? Couldnโt put it downp
I love it. I couldn't stop reading it ... loved everything about it
Such a great book!. I am not a big reader and I loved this book. It is funny, light hearted and I was excited each day to read it! I would certainly recommend this book! Thank you Maria!

Terrific!. Great read and very well written.
Easy read, cute story. Interesting story, wished for more developments. Easy read, would recommend it.
Loved it!. I don't think it was slow to start at all. An engaging, but light, read. Great beach or vacation book. But trust me, DON'T start it an hour before bedtime because you WILL stay up. All night...
Disappointing. I wanted to love this after reading other reviews and I canโt. It was a disappointing read and chaotic ending. I never even laughed. Not seeing the hype and not sure why itโs been made into a movie.
Interesting. Some parts bored me a little but at some point of the book you just cannot stop reading it. Very unexpected final, almost perfect, but I feel like there are missing some pages at the end. I would love to know what happened after
A fun read. I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was a funny and quirky story with interesting characters who were easy to relate to. I thought it got a little slow toward the end, which is why I gave it 4 stars. Overall, I loved it and would definitely recommend!
Not my favorite. This book is unique in how it is written. A few parts I liked, when Bee and her dad were in Antarctica, but overall, not so much. I simply could not relate to Bernadette at all. People go thru both personal and professional disappointments and failures all the time, a lot worse than she did, but have to adapt and move on. Would I Recommend it, no.
Loved it!. Charming and laugh out loud funny, I recommend this book to everyone.
Odd Ducks. A compelling story of eccentric, but likable people. Itโs a brisk read and very thoughtfully written. I recommend it highly.
Disappointed. Was loving this book until the last section and it took a turn to boring and anti climatic.
Great Start, Filled Center, Weak Ending. This book started as a well-written, multi-character, work that transitioned into too much stuffing, and finally a dismal end that was fit-in with profanity in an apparent attempt to disguise the lack of quality work in the "hurried feel" ending. If the book had been finished in the manner that it was started it could have been great.
Boring. I couldnโt finish the book. I keep hoping that the book would pick up but there was just nothing that kept me interested.
Where'd You Go, Bernadette. This is definitely worth reading. Funny, entertaining & thought provoking. Thoroughly enjoyable. Loved that it is set in Seattle, my home town.
Awesome book!!!. This book is so different, engaging and unique I couldn't put it down. It is totally different from what I usually read and I am so glad I took a chance and bought it. I highly recommend this great book!
Wow. I want more!!!! I wish this book was 400 pages longer!
Where'd You Go, Bernadette. Very funny. I read this in three days grabbing time whenever i could. These characters are so entertaining that you want to meet them. They're also all great examples of how we are all complex, with both highly redeeming and not so attractive attributes. The ending was a bit far fetched but I still liked it.
creatively, hilarious!!!!. Loved it!!!!!!!
Loved it!. This book was awesome and i have been searching for something like it ever since. Hoping to enjoy "Today Will Be Different" but the reviews are making me not so sure about it.
Where'd you go, Bernedette. I don't write many reviews but I do read a lot of books. This was the quirkiest story...ever...and I loved it. It took a while to actually get In to it. About half way through...i couldn't put it down. It made me smile, laugh, shack my head. I had fabulous visions of All the happenings and places. I really enjoyed it.
Excellent Novel. Fantastic book from start to finish. The beginning, like any other, was slow, yet makes more sense if you reread the first few pages. I canโt wait for the movie!
A let down. I had high hopes for this book because I had read good reviews and also saw where it was going to be made into a movie. The book flipped back and forth to much to really get interested in the actual story plot, it told past and present in a mix between emails, first person and third person, I like to be sucked into a books story line and i want to feel connected with the characters, this book was impossible for me to do that. I gave three stars because I did like how one of the moms enemies, that was out to get her ended up helping her when she needed it, I thought Audreyโs story was far more interesting than some of the main characters.. I may read another book by this author and see if this is her go to writing style and if it is then I donโt guess her books are for me..
Funny, entertaining, actual. Loved this book!. Found it funny, entertaining, actual, real and interesting. The struggles of a contemporary professional woman and her family to deal with the day to day routine, anxieties and fears...loved the way is written (emails, txt and fax!)
Iffy. I'm still not 100% sure if I liked it or not..... I got bored in a few places and just wanted it to be over 100 pages out. Upon completion I'm just not sure. I did enjoy the presentation for sure. Different.
Wild ride. A hoot! Enjoyed the entire book. Most humorous writing I've read in years.
Where'd You go, Bernadette. Great book. Slow start. Takes 120 pages to get interesting.
A fun read. Lighthearted and very entertaining. I enjoyed the mixed media format. The characters were quirky and compelling. A quick read because it was so fun, and I had no idea what to expect next. Definitely recommend!
