I love Nora and everything she has written! To have it all in one beautiful volume is a gift. Her whit and intelligence in her writing is unmatched. I laugh out loud at her musings and find myself missing her voice in the world. A great gift for any reader.

I actually purchased the book for a friend who has enjoyed Nora’s works. I was figuring on more of her written works, but a good portion of the book told about her experiences in the work world. There were also excerpts from her writings. I read the most of it before passing it on and found it interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like lingering over lunch with one of my best friends
Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2013

Nora Ephron is funny. Because she seeks the truth, after I've stopped laughing, I find myself oddly, deeply affected and a bit teared up. She left us too soon, so I'm glad I got this great, big fat compendium of her work from the many facets of her life--newspaper and magazine journalist, epic foodie, novelist, screenwriter, playwright. Somehow her love of eating and cooking works its way into a lot of what she's written as a novelist, screenwriter, and journalist. Her confiding tone makes her feel like a girlfriend, someone I stay in touch with long after moving on from the school or job where we first met.

The Most of Nora Ephron gives me the opportunity to revisit Ephron's wit and warmth again and again.

Nora Ephron is a legend. We all know it. We've all read her books and seen her movies. This book is great, but it's too big/heavy to read in bed. Sorta disappointed. But I still love Nora Ephron.

5.0 out of 5 stars So many pages, so many Noras, and all of them well worth reading.
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2013

Doesn't much matter which of those 557 pages fall open. Wherever you land you should find a good read. Here's a sampling: There's Nora, the thrice married New Yorker daughter of Hollywood screenwriters. Nora of 1960's Newsweek, when the only jobs open to women were in the mailroom. Nora, the New York Post journalist, novelist, filmmaker and playwright. Nora sitting around with Rob Reiner dithering with improving the script of "When Harry Met Sally." Nora settling scores with her unfaithful second husband in "Heartburn," the book that became a Meryl Streep movie. Nora as writer/director of "You've Got Mail" and "Sleepless in Seattle." Nora, the foodie, on having people to dinner and life in the land of the egg-white omelette. And the Nora who knew early on who Deep Throat was, but nobody believed her. Nora and her profiles of Helen Gurley Brown, Julie Nixon Eisenhower and other well known women. Nora on life in the Google years. Nora on the "O" word and remembering nothing. Nora's script of "Lucky Guy," her 2-act play that ran on Broadway, starring Tom Hanks, in 2013. Nora's "Story of My Life in 3,500 Words or Less" and two one-page lists of "What I Won't Miss" and "What I Will Miss." Nora Ephron died of leukemia at 71 in June, 2012.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Most of Nora Ephron" is a great anthology of her work, to read in Post COVID surroundings!
Reviewed in Canada on July 15, 2020

It is the summer of 2020, and we need to laugh, don't we? At the end of June, I started to do some investigation on Nora Ephron, and I have always loved her fantastic prose and her movies. I have been laughing as I have generally been reading all of her printed materials from this book and from her recent books that I can get my hands on. In regards to Nora Ephron's passing in December of 2012, what a loss and what a prolific author and personality she was! Sadly passing at just 71 years old.

In my research, I discovered this fantastic anthology of her incredible works, plays, screenplays, and I had to have it for my Ephron collection. I wanted to know more about this tremendous international author and personality, and by being male, I've learned so much about "purse shopping, lipstick and beauty products" and Nora's self-hatred about "her neck." If you are a "foodie" such as my wife Elaine and I, both are, you'll love this book as, after her many articles, Nora gives you actual recipes to try out!

If you've read any of Nora's books, you can't escape reading one book, one article, one essay or short story and not have many moments of laughter or feeling a definite smile on your face! I need this book post-COVID, I'm laughing as much as I can. Buy this wonder Ephron medicine and book, that is keeping me sane, for my summer 2020 reading choices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not that I need convincing...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2020

I'm a fan of Ephron's work and did not need convincing to read this! However, I like how it does not really have a unifying subject matter except that every story or article reveals a slice of her perspective on herself, life and the world. It's perfect for reading a chapter/article at a time while in the supermarket queue (especially now during lockdown), while sunbathing in the garden, in the bath or in bed!
