Summary: Jill is STILL the Queen Boss Queen
Review: A little more risque than The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love and darn funny. Buy them both, make some Chocolate Stuff, and have a queenly good time!

Summary: This book makes me wanna go to Jackson, MS
Review: After living in the little town of Vicksburg, MS for a year, I never thought anything in Jackson could be fun, but this book has convinced me that I need to go back. If not for nothing else than to see these fabolous women! Both books is great for any girl, no matter what age! It left me with a really happy feeling!

Summary: Divinely Inspired, dahling --
Review: After reading Ms. Browne's introduction to the literary world, The Sweet Potato Queens Book of Love, I have spread the message that only two books were needed in life, the Holy Bible and the Sweet Potato Queens Book of Love! This message was immediately modified after finishing God Save the Sweet Potato Queens, to make it three books. Don't sully up your bookcases with anything more!

Summary: The Queens Still Reign!
Review: After reading the Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love last year, I thought it was the cat's meow. When I found out the second book was coming out, I was first in line! I didn't think it would be possible for Jill Conner Browne to do it, but God Save the Sweet Potato Queens is just as well-written and witty as her first novel. I found myself chuckling a lot and have passed the book on to a friend to read. Throughout the book (when you can stop yourself from giggling at the wacky anecdotes concerning all the 'Tammys') there are interesting tips, new sweet potato queens' slang terms, and of course fabulous recipes! If you liked the first book, you'll love this one, too. If you haven't read either of them, you're missing out bless your heart....

Summary: Sweet Potatoes Give Me Gas
Review: And a Gas is what this wonderful book is. A must read for anyone who loved the SPQ Book of Love (which should definitely be read first). Jill Conner Browne returns with more celebration of life and love, complete with instructions and recipes. Irreverent, naughty and nice too, the down home common sense approach of the SPQs is something to celebrate. You just feel like a kindly friend is talkin' (sense) to you, and you don't want it to end - well, maybe a break for some Death Chicken and Gooey Bars and Bacon Monkey Bread. When we can't celebrate the purely good and simpler aspects of life, the SPQs show us how to approach those parts with a sense of humor and no humility. Prissing, hormones, dating tips and revirgination are just a few of the topics. The recipes and the advice make this a book to own, to go back to for later study. Pair it with the earlier volume, and it makes the PERFECT birthday gift.

Summary: Awful!
Review: 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 High School bullies who now drink to solve their problems. Seriously, AA should have a chapter at the end of this book. A meaner, more childish, more useless 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.

Summary: Be Particular!
Review: Before I explain why I only gave the book 2 stars - let me say that I am a Wannabe Wannabe having marched in the 1st Million Queen March - and I enthusiastically anticipated the follow-up book. What a disappointment! I felt the book was only an enticement for those that have not read the first book to go and read it. There were far too many references to the first book - too many for someone that has read the first - but not enough for someone who has not. The first book was sassy and cute with just a little bit of crude thrown in - this one just a little too crude for this Wannabe. Advice from Jill Conner Browne herself - "Be particular" Read the first one over again instead of buying this one.

Summary: They're Baaaacccckkk!
Review: Christmas is over, the snow's on the ground & tax forms are arriving---we need relief! Well, it's here in the form of the Sweet Potato Queen & her court of Tammys. There's valuable information here as well as great recipes. Check out Death Chicken. Hopefully you won't wait until a funeral to make it {although the recipe could possibly cause hardening of the arteries resulting in an untimely death!) I'm going to end this so I can go out get a big ol' red wig, sequins & a ticket to Jackson, Ms. Enjoy.

Summary: Great book!
Review: First, I can't believe anyone would be offended by this book! It is honest and hilarious especially for those of us fortunate enough to live in the South. Second, I can't believe someone would be small minded and rude enough to write a review on here saying that all of us that like these books are stupid man hating trash. If you were offended, fine, but don't insult the rest of the enlighted populous because you can't take a joke. Lastly, I can't believe Amazon has kept that review on here as it is obviously insulting to anyone who likes this book. All of the books are funny, you-go-girl attitude must reads!
