Summary: A Watered Down Regurgitation of the First Two Books
Review: Jill Conner Browne is a very funny woman who had me laughing outloud continually thru her first book. The antics of she and her cohorts, The Sweet Potato Queens, are very funny. They started an entire mini-civilization with their St. Patrick's Day Parade float. These are a fun bunch of ladies (bad girls) that I would love to know.
In her first book, Ms. Browne chronicled their adventures. The material was fresh and funny. In the second book it was more of the same....a little tired and not quite as funny. This book is an extremely disappointing reworking of the same material, with a little bit of a twist......Betty Crocker. Although there are parts of this book where Ms. Browne's humor and talent shine through, they are largely obscured by the same old stuff or completely random events such as her romance with a much younger man (something she resoundingly disapproved of in her first book)
which is nice for her but really boring to read about.....or her poor mother's stroke. I am sure she was very upset by her mother's illness but to have a chapter about it in a book that is meant to be entertaining and somewhat bawdy???? I just don't get it. Her publishers must have been desperate for another book which is really unfortunate because it does not do justice to Ms. Browne and her talent.

Summary: a laugh on every page
Review: Jill Conner Browne's Sweet Potato Queen reigns! In this combo cookbook and financial planner, we're treated to more of her insouciant, sassy fun. Martha Stewart clones need not open this book, as it's filled with buttery, cholesterol cloggin', great-tasting recipes using lots of bacon, boxes of mixes and processed food, like Miracle Whip and jello.
Browne's common sense and hard-won wisdom enliven and inform each chapter, along with the antics of the Tammys and their men and kids. She's the madcap friend we all deserve to have--if there's no one like her in your life, go find a lady of a certain age who's not afraid to give anyone a (sometimes profane but extremely expressive) piece of her mind!

Summary: LAUAGHING ALL THE WEIGH
Review: Jill Conner Browne, popular author of "The Sweet Potato Queens' Book Of Love" and "God Save The Sweet Potato Queens," gives equal measures of sassiness and sense to her rollicking reading of her latest royal report.The author now spends full-time touring and lecturing to her contingents of loyal subjects, and so she should because she is the true voice of the Sweet Potato Queen, whether she is going toe-to-toe with Betty Crocker whom she identifies as responsible for "some of the insane ideas we have struggled with and against for the last 50 years" or urging royalists to combat aging by becoming blond no matter what. As for Ms. Browne's tips on financial planning - who else would recommend starting a trust fund to cover costs associated with menopause? Of this audiobook the author said, "Recording this audiobook was a dream come true. I got hours on end dedicated simply to talking about food and telling stories about my best friends. I had to stop recording a few times when the laughing got out of control, and I hope you'll be laughing along in your kitchen or car." You bet we are! - Gail Cooke

Summary: Booze, Broads and Bacon!
Review: Jill Connor Browne is back with the third installment in her Sweet Potato Queens series, dedicated to just plain having fun with life. Amid stories of heartbreak and triumph, Jill includes recipes guaranteed to fatten up even Kate Moss and Callista Flockheart.
What's more, there's lots of bacon! And cheese. Don't let us forget the cheese.
Do we despise Jill for taking such a stern stance against aerobics and plastic surgery, only to find out that she herself is a personal trainer who has had "some work done"? Heck no! A queen can change her mind, after all. And there's nothing wrong with a bit of waffling... especially with lots of butter and syrup.
This is my favorite installment to date. Not only do we learn more about what the Queens are really like, particularly Jill herself, but we get to try a whole bunch of recipes that are just...well, they're just not right. Dr. Atkins simply would not approve, but I'm sure the hungry reader will.
If you like to eat half as much as you like to laugh, you need to read this book.

Summary: I've gotta stop reading this stuff on airplanes!
Review: My poor seatmate on the 5.5 hour leg from ATL to LAX yesterday was in turn startled, amused and annoyed by my frequent (sometimes debilitating) outbursts of laughter. Jill, Boss Queen of All Time, has done it again. Reading her books feels like sitting with a good friend, sipping wine and just talkin'. Thanks, Jill! You did it again!!

Summary: Not for prissy-pot women
Review: None of Jill's books are for prissy women. They are the real deal. This is the way all us girlfriends talk when we get together to do a little hootin' and hollerin'. Loved the recipes, especially the "Stinky Cheese Bread". Yum!! Keep writing Jill and we'll keep reading!
