Summary: can't stop laughing
Review: God save the Sweet Potato Queens is a fabulous follow up to the Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love. Jill Conner Brown and the Tammys are riotously funny but still down to earth. After reading this book, I did something I have never done before--I e-mailed the author. She is just as funny on-line as she is in print. This book exposes more of the things that make the South both bizarre and incomparably wonderful. I highly recommend both books for anyone you know who has anything remotely resembling a sense of humor.

Summary: They're Baaaack !
Review: Here we go again...The Queens are back with more advice, anecdotes and recipes. These are the women your mother always warned you about, but probably yearned to be. Hilarious and fast paced, this latest offering from The Queens is a terrific book for yourself or your sister. I should know, I gave copies to my sister, in hopes she would pass them on to her daughter, who is quite a princess in her own right. Read it, share it...and book your plane ticket South for the next parade !

Summary: reread the first book instead
Review: I absolutely loved the first book - Sweet Potato Queens Book of Love. But the second book was *beyond* a disappointment for me. Almost every chapter starts with her discussing the first book - making it quite repetitive, and tiresome. The stories were not very funny and she really rambled on in this book. I nearly gave up on the book part way through (reason I'm giving it one star) but I have a policy about finishing something I've started. Anyhow, if you've read the first book, skip this one, and read the first one again. I'm definitely not passing this book on to my friends.

Summary: no need for a sequel
Review: I absolutely loved the first book, and I was very dissapointed in this one. I do not know if I will even bother to get the Big Ass Cook Book. The theme was so repetitive from the first book and not near as funny. I was really wanting to love this book, but unfortunately, it will go in the pile to donate, unlike my first book with funny pages flagged. The website is somewhat humorous as well, but if you are a SPQ fan, stop after reading the first book.

Review: I admit it, I AM a Wannabe! This book had me rolling. I was laughing out loud on the airplane reading this book! It's a must read, even if you aren't a Southern Belle!

Summary: Wannabe a SPQ
Review: I did not believe it would be possible to enjoy a book as much as I did THE SWEET POTATO QUEENS' BOOK OF LOVE and then I found GOD SAVE THE SWEET POTATO QUEENS. Jill Conner Browne's wit and insight is just a sharpe in the second book as it was in the first.Of course not everyone will "get it" and for these folks I feel sorry, but don't give up. While you still breath there is still hope.

Summary: God Save the Sweet Potato Queens
Review: I hate sweet potatoes but I love the Sweet Potato Queens. I read excepts to my husband and now he is scared and says that the book is dangerous. I say that it is a must-read for anyone who has ever been a woman or is wanting to be one in the near future!

Summary: I am a self-appointed Sweet Potato Queen
Review: I have never laughed so much from a book. This is as much fun as seeeing a good comedian "live", and it is cheaper, easier and you can sip on your own Knock "Em Dead Margaritas," while reading. If you can multi-task, you can even fulfill the promise, and read the book simultaneously. This book, filled with advice on how to live a less stressful, more joyful life is hilarious. Hidden in all the humor and exageration are two pages of actual clear cut advice stating that "The truth is real life doesn't always turn out to be exactly what we planned or dreamed..." Browne briefly states what to do about that. If you are a southern "girl" who enjoys humor, read this book. If you can't find the humor, you need the book even more.

Review: I haven't laughed this hard in a long time! My coworkers thought I was nuts when I laughed so hard I cried while reading over my lunch break.
