Summary: I've never read a Bombeck book I didn't like.......
Review: & this was the best. You can litterally place yourself in her shoes & experience comical things you could never have imagined happening to yourself. The way she narrates really grabs you into the book & won't let you go, & when your finished you need another of her books or you'll go into withdrawl syndrome. It was a horrible loss she died & took her comical genius that no one else has mastered with her.

Summary: A travel book matched only by the immortal Dave Barry's
Review: Erma Bombeck has crafted a glorious travel book that explains just why you should keep your behind firmly planted indoors. Over the course of the book, she goes to Mass in a church where people go topless (and yes, I mean the women), goes to Europe with the weirdest bunch of people ever to go on a tour, tackles the hard rolls from hell, and buys the tiniest mobile home in history.She dryly comments on every weird detail of travelling further than five miles, from languages to airplanes to foreign bathrooms to travel snobs to stuffing yourself with food. Oh, and guess the meaning of this if you haven't read the book: "Number One Jesus Man." BTW if you enjoyed this book, scamper off and check out "Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need" and "If God Had Meant For Us To Travel". These guys are a bit wackier, but just as funny.

Summary: True, so true!
Review: Erma's funniest book yet! Every time I'm on a car trip and I'm stuck behind an RV, I think of her experience driving the "rig" with her hands clamped to the wheel, etc. I think of her regretting having more children than she had backseat windows and paying a fortune for a cruise only to spend half the voyage throwing up into a sink shaped like a seashell. Erma took mundane real life for mothers/wives and made it funny.

Summary: LIfe turned comedy through the words of Bombeck
Review: The title at first hadnt seemed so appealing to me, but the contents of the novel is what matters the most. My mother had urged me to read this book saying it was both witty and funny. A optimistic novel, turning lifes issues into comedy. In her book " When you Look like YouPassport Photo" she writes about her travel experiences which you can both laugh with and at the same time relate to. It starts off with her never having left her home town, to renting the smallest and most unpractical home RV in the world to deciding to leaving her children home to explore Europe. Even if you havent traveled you can laugh at the way she describes even the weirdest things and if you have relate to the tour guides and horrible food services. The memeroable husband always thinking that there are consipiracies going on in the system. The Hotel rationing the same piece of hard roll for every serving. Then there is always your typical bus groups. The health fanatic upfront, the photo mania and your typical drunk always singing at certain stops. I found it funny when she explaned that she had more children than she had window seats and just basically how she compared her life to things. IN her book, she gives tips and rules on travel issues. I havent read a book that made me laugh from page to page liek this one, this is a book no one should miss reading. Her perspective is always fresh, always giving her own ideas her own opinios. " Food for the dangerous" isnt this a catchy yet dangerous phrase. Erma describes all things with a different look. I heard that the authot died a few years ago and i praise her. Having suffering so much illness and even althrough this, having the ability to narate such an optimistic and hilarious book.
