Overview Ratings & Reviews

“Men, always bloody men,” Fenella sighed,“Bottom line is, it always comes down to a man. It doesn’t matter if it’s because of love or money. You’re either running to a man, running aftera man, or running away from a man.”

'Stop theworld I need to pee', is an ordinary woman's hilarious and sometimes tragicjourney to find love, adventure and a better life. Set in Southern Africa it moves from the finaldays of the apartheid era in South Africa, to the present.

FenellaFisher is not beautiful or blessed with extraordinary talents or gifts. Fenella Fisher is an ordinary woman, notunlike the girl next door or a woman you might work with. However, Fenella appears to live her lifegoing from crisis to crisis. Things justseem to happen to her, and instead of letting them get her down, Fenella alwayslifts herself out of the mess, or ends up having the last laugh. In Stop the world I need to pee, Fenellaembarks on a rollercoaster ride through life, searching for love and the dreamman – who always turns out to have flaws, as well as a better life for herchildren. On her journey, Fenellaencounters con-artists, crazy sickos, other women's husbands and a few genuinelynice people who become her lifelong friends. You might love her, or hate her, but you won’t deny the fact thatFenella’s escapades, some a little raunchy, will have kept you entertained.

The Story Behind This Book

I am one of those unfortunate people that has things happen to them all the time. It's like I'm a crisis magnet. Over the years, many people have suggested that I write a book about my adventures. As I love writing, I thought, why the hell not. And, Fenella Fisher was born. A character, that uncanny as it may seem, has many adventures surprisingly similar to mine. For anyone who likes a laugh, and has escaped from sticky situations and marital abuse, then this book will be the one for you. “When I’m on my deathbed one day, I want to be able to say, I have lived my life to the fullest.” Fenella Fisher.

Life's Bitter Sweet for Fenella, May 4, 2009

By	Janet C. Aston (China) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ms. Vine creates a character who totally represents the modern female of the species. The reader can delve between the lines and the sexual jaunts to wonder at the thoughts and feelings of women and of their life choices.
All people take a left instead of a right somewhere in their lives and Fenella does just that on more than one occasion. Appearances and reality, charismatic personalities and the underlying human need; `to be loved', reveal a bitter sweet comedy of errors on Fenella's part. Many readers will laugh, many will raise their eyebrows over some of the frolicking, but most will finish the book hoping that love will conquer all for Fenella. A fun read with an underlying question for us all. Looking forward to Fenella's next adventure.
Jackie Collins meets International Schools, April 21, 2009

By	Mr. Stephen M. Toole "smt" (China) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a fun easy read. You will laugh and possibly cry as you read through the story of Fenella. I have to admit that she is one tough lady and nothing can seem to get her down. The story flows well and by the end it becomes a real page turner as you want to find out what happens to Brendan. It was interesting to learn about the people, events of Southern Africa as Fenella is a person that does not stay in a place for too long and always has a good story to tell. My advice: don't mess with Fenella. I'm looking forward to see how things turn out for her in New Zealand
