Rating: Summary: This one is awful too! Review: This is no better than the others. As one who has experienced the SPQ's and their 'followers' in life and in person in Jackson, all I can say is that it is the home for the alcoholic High School bullies. Seriously, AA should have a chapter at the end of this book and in Jackson for Queens. A meaner, more childish, more useless, more vile group of women could not exist. So, if you are stupid trash, hate men, have no self-respect and love showing your backside (and front side) in public (literally) then this is the book and these women are for you.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Awful Review: This isn't literature in my humble opinion. This is moneymaking gimmickery that, unfortunately, I have now contributed to. Anyone want to by a slightly used book?
Rating: Summary: I was a Queen and didn't know it.... Review: Until I read this book.It is truly fantastic. Funny and real. You can picture everything she describes and you can feel her laughter and her desire to tell everyone that life is too short, that you must live life to the fullest. Long live the Boss Queen!
Rating: Summary: The *kayters* review Review: Well, much as I hate to say it, this book just did not appeal to me as the first two SPQ books did. I LOVED all the anecdotes and stories about her mom, The Cutest Boy in the World and the rest of her family and friends, but unfortunately the "Cookbook" in the title is apt. I'd say 2/3 of the book is devoted to recipes. And unfortunately, most of the recipes are for foods that would cause you to gain 5 lbs just by looking at them, let alone eating them. Nevertheless, I am inclined to try some of them, just because they are so darned strange, yet strangely wonderful - a chocolate cake where one of the main ingredients is Coca-Cola? Must try, just for the novelty of it!
Rating: Summary: Funny! Review: What a funny book! Sure, a little racy in parts but that's what we expect from our Sweet Potato Queens! Recipes look yummy, and the financial tips are a hoot. Some of the stories have a real heart and "teared me right up". Jill Conner Browne, you are my hero. By the way, want to clone that "Cutest Boy" and send him on up to Cincinnati?
Rating: Summary: Y'all.. you gotta get this book! Review: What can I say about this book other then it is the best and you just have to get it! If you are a fan of the first two, you know how much laughter and fun you are in for. If you have not had the luck of reading any of Jill's books, you are in for a wonderful ride. The recipies are fabulicious, try the deep fried pickles! This is a read it all the way though in one sitting 'cause ya can't put it down, call your girlfiends and tell them to get the book, can't stop laughing to save your life kind of book. You won't be sorry :)
Rating: Summary: ex-SPQ wannabe wannabe Review: While HRH JillConnerBrown struggles to keep her shocking, witty edge, her attempts fail miserably. I found myself losing interest and thinking I was reading books one and two. After meeting all of the people Jill mentions in her book, I was less than thrilled to read about their antics. The overall SPQ bandwagon was disappointing. If you like to see grown women act like drunk 18 year olds and dress like drag queens, go to the parade and adjoining festivities. Otherwise keep a safe distance from this book and it's followers.
