Rating:  Summary: Not up to par... Review: Of course the only reason I read this book was because I enjoyed The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love. I was looking for more of the same light hearted humor. Unfortunately, this edition was a HUGE dissapointment. It felt like it was just a novel sized advertisemt for the first book. The passages were very hard to follow as they jumped from one topic to the next and then back again faster than you can blink an eye. This would not have been too hard to handle if the topics were in any way related, but they weren't. I will say that the chapter titles were entertaining and I did actually laugh out loud twice near the very end of the book, but what it took to get to those two laughs was a waste of my time. -One more thing, do no read this if you have not read the original book as there are so many references to SPQBOL that someone not familiar with it will be even more lost than I was, and I had actually read it less than a year ago.
Rating:  Summary: Read it, Love it, Live it!!!!! Review: Oh yes, God has blessed the Sweet Potato Queens and has blessed us with this book. Laughter through tears was a favored emotion in another Southern favorite, Steel Magnolias, and you will get plenty of it here! If being regaled by tales of slighty naughty escapades are your cup of tea, you will love this book as much as I do. TRY THE RECIPES, they are great!! Where else can you find a book that is a spiritual guide, a style manual and gives you "smack ya' mama" good recipes?!!
Rating:  Summary: Let's be honest... Review: Okay, this book WAS humorous...at times; however, I can vividly remember thinking, "Jeez, Erin, when is this book going to end?" And complaining to my family, "I think the chapters are mating with one another and producing new chapters." At times I wanted to just slam the book down and then sometimes I was laughing my butt off! So, now you've realised two things 1. I talk to myself, and 2. The book is okay. At the very least the book is worth buying if you want to make Doo-dah Chicken for that elderly rich man that just won't die!
Rating:  Summary: This Book Has The Vatican Talking...Buy Now Before The Ban! Review: Only Jill Conner Browne and her Royal Court of Tammy's could inspire the world with simple prose and potent "Promise"! This is a smile every page kind of book, that had me laughing till my jaw hurt. It is the sort of book you will want to buy and share with your friends and maybe even an enemy or two. (It can only help either way!) I bought copies for all the clergy I know and asked them to use a few of Jill's powerful stories to brighten up those Sunday Morning sermons that are real "sleepers" of another sort. Problem is, more than one preacher selected the wrong stories to share from their pulpit and now assorted clergy and prelates across the USA are talking about adding GOD SAVE THE SWEET POTATO QUEENS to the "INDEX". So don't delay...BUY YOUR COPY TODAY before it is banned in Boston. I have even heard that copies are being sent to the Vatican for immediate translation and review...God Save The Sweet Potato Queens and God save us all from Sad Saints! Be sure to read the chapter on "Death-Defying Recipes" that will make any soul sing! Death Corn Five is a must try at that next after-funeral gathering. Even if you don't like the corn (and you will) just think of how much fun it will be to tell others about where you found the recipe. Sure to brighten up even the most somber funeral gathering. This is a book you won't want to miss and a fitting follow-up to her first work: "The Sweet Potato Queens Book of Love". Guys, this book will help you understand chicks better than any other you've ever read...and it is short with easy words too! Thanks Jill and Vivat Regina!

Rating:  Summary: Laugh Yourself Silly Review: Still the funniest stuff I've read in a long time. I can't wait for the next one! If you want a little bit of a push to just go ahead and love yourself and love your life (regardless of circumstances) read this book and do so.
Rating:  Summary: Offensive Review: The first book was a little racy and a lot of fun. This book is not much fun and way to racy! Actually it was down right offensive. I'm a big girl and can take some cussing but PLEASE! This was just foul! I was very disappointed...
Rating:  Summary: Positively wonderful! Review: The first book was an absolute delight, and I was absolutely DYING for the second one. This was another really hilarious, really wise take on life from Jill Conner Browne. If you haven't picked up a Sweet Potato Queens book yet, you need to do yourself a favor and buy one because they just put a spring in your step like nothing else (except maybe a day at the beach with a gallon of frozen custard). I laughed so hard tears rolled down my face and my husband thought I'd lost my mind.
Rating:  Summary: Oh dear Review: The first Sweet Potato Queens book was perfect. It was funny, insightful, sweet and even touching in places. Jill Conner Browne should've left it right there. This isn't as good as the first book and there were a few chapters that I actually skipped because they bored me. I guess the lesson here is when you get it right the first time you don't need a sequel.
