Summary: Laugh out loud funny
Review: I LOVED this book! I only wished it were longer! I love a book that makes me laugh out loud, and this book fits the bill. The author talks about simple, every day occurences that happen to all of us, then puts her own unique humorous spin on it. I can't wait for her next book!

Summary: Happy accident!
Review: I really was not expecting to enjoy this book. All my friends read it and bragged about it. I'm a thick novel kind of gal so I was hesitant. I read Fat Bride in one day and laughed my ass off. This sounds so cliche, but I couldn't put it down until I finished. What I like is that Notaro's voice speaks for the everywoman. It doesn't matter what your background or lifestyle is, if you are a 20, 30 or 40-something wife you will 'get it' and love every minute of it.

Summary: the funniest book.
Review: I related to so much of what she said. This woman is funny. These stories are short, so if you are pressed for time they are perfect! Nothing is sacred here, she is direct and honest about her life and the hilarity that ensues from her wedding to gyn visits.
Best book I have ever read, no kidding.

Summary: Loved it as much as the first.
Review: I think I enjoyed this book even more than Laurie's first book. Now that I'm married too, I could relate to a lot of her stories - especially when it comes to the husband. Man hands. Know all about it! I'm *SO* looking foward to the third book. I wish Laurie had a daily blog so fans like me (who were used to reading her columns once a week before she became famous) could read her stuff without waiting so long between books! Good job Laurie!!!

Summary: Again, Laugh-Out-Loud Funny.
Review: I thought this book was even funnier than Idiot Girls and I thought that book was the funniest I had read in a long time. Laurie Notaro truly has a gift for exposing what is really funny in common everyday occurances; she has helped us to realize that the really embarrasing moments in life happen to everyone and that's okay and perhaps even really funny!This is the type of book that you'll want to keep on hand to read over again. Ms. Notaro offers the reader an often intimate, always hillarious look into her marriage and family. My two favorite parts in the book were when her husband gets sick and stays home and when she takes her grandmother (Nana) to the grocery store to prepare for Y2K. The best parts about this book, though are that you will most assuredly laugh and be able to relate to many of Laurie's experiences.

Summary: Laurie Notaro rules!
Review: I'm a 20-something who picked up my first Laurie Notaro book at a bookstore browsing the humor section. I read a chapter and laughed in the store.
This book (as well as all Notaro's others) is consistently laugh out loud funny. I found her very relatable and easy to read. There is so much crap out there that's all too similar a read, and Notaro definitely distances herself from that. Her short chapters are a collection of humor, not another 20 or 30 something novel we've all read 80 different incarnations of.
I cannot wait for more from her. If you're a female sick of the other of the other typical girlie-novels out there, Notaro is a most refreshing change of pace. And she is totally hilarious.

Summary: WONDERFUL BUY THIS BOOK!!!!
Review: If you haven't had the pleasure of reading Laurie Notaro, you are in for a treat! She serves up REAL LIFE and will make you laugh out loud! This follow up to "The idiot girls action adventure club" isn't QUITE as good as the first, but I love it and recommend it all the same.

Summary: Makes you laugh so hard you'll snort
Review: L. Notaro writes for us. Us women who just don't care about shaving our legs everyday, keeping our houses spotless and as long as the pets are fed and we eat at least decent one meal a day in between the candy bars and junk food we'll survive just fine, thank you. I absolutely adored her first book and started this one before I was out of the parking lot of the bookstore. Thank goodness I wasn't driving or it would have been really difficult to turn the pages and remember to signal.
From "mice" to weird neighbors, Ms. Noaro notices and appreciates the truly inane things that make life really interesting and worthwhile. She's the funniest writer I've ever read and I hope she has many more books to come.
Proving there really is someone out there who will love us just the way we are and then actually marry us turns into very
stories.
You know those things you talk about ONLY to your best women friends? L. Notaro writes about those things with wit, humor and a wry sense of good-naturedness about herself as well.

Summary: Phyllis Diller Again?
Review: Laurie Notaro has a way of coming up with the perfect phrase. You get an immediate, and often graphic, image of just what she is describing. So it's a shame that she can't take this talent and an obvious sense of humor to do something other than making herself out to be a pathetic, fat, ugly woman with a bad temper. From the photo on the back and inside the back cover, it does not appear that Notaro is either ugly or fat. And since she has an evidently devoted new husband, she probably isn't the unloveable wretch she describes in Autobiography of a Fat Bride. So this whole schtick is apparently just a device she uses for laughs. Well, it wears thin fast. This is Phyllis Diller recycled and it wasn't that funny back then. The only person who comes out of this book only mildly scathed is her husband, who is a two-dimensional nobody. The poor guy doesn't even get a name. He goes from "boyfriend" to "groom" to "husband." Jeez, even if you don't want to use his real name, make something up, Laurie, I mean, you are a writer. I read this book knowing that as a baby boomer, I am not the intended audience, but it seemed to me that the subjects of dating, family, getting married, etc. were fairly common, and universal enough so that you didn't have to be an Idiot Girl to enjoy Autobiography. Wrong.

Summary: Laurie Comes Through Again! Idiot Girls ROCK!
Review: Laurie Notaro has come thorough once again with humor that idiot girls everywhere can relate to. Side splitting humor that leaves you in tears with laughter. Or at least in a spot where people look at you funny for laughing yourself to tears while reading on the bus on the way to work. Laurie appears to have grown up a bit in this book but we all know it is not true. This book left me looking more at the humor that goes with every day pretend adulthood, buying a house, owning a house, getting married, married life, being an aunt, entertaining neighbors who do stupid things, and of course who can give up on their family as a source for humor. We have grown past the 12 stages of stinking drunk (most of the time) and now deal with killer bees, red mice, spoiled children (including husbands), and home improvement nightmares. A wonderful end to the book with very touching while still funny story involving "blue-eyes" himself. A book that is sure to keep you in its grips from cover to cover. For Idiot Girls Everywhere. Rock On! You Rule!
