Summary: A Northerners Guide to Southern Living
Review: Even as a Yankee I appreciated this book. It was filled with more snort induced belly laughs than I care to admit to. "Bless your heart, Tramp" will not be heading to the church rummage sale anytime soon. This is one of those books that you keep in your nightstand whenever you need a good laugh. I look forward to reading much more by Mama Celia!!

Review: I have become a favorite girlfriend and sister buying tons of copies of this book for gifts. I worried at first that some of my Yankee friends (I am a former Yankee and also a card-carrying bra and panty club member - read the book to find out more!) would not catch the humor. Boy, was I wrong - they love it. Celia is a master at turning the quirkiness of life into the best laughs. She writes about all the stupid things we do in life that we are embarrassed to admit, and it is great to know we are all nuts!I truly have not laughed this hard in years. Neither has my husband - I read him excerpts in bed and the tears of laughter begin. Don't miss this one! Write on Celia!

Summary: Laugh Out Loud Funny!
Review: I loved this book! I am a southerner and can really identify with several of Ms. Rivenbark's observations of us Southern Belles. This is a very easy to read book with very short chapters that can be read during 5 minute breaks. I tried to read this during breaks at work, and found myself laughing out loud. I reccomend this book to anyone who has a sense of humor.

Summary: Funny, Funny Book!
Review: I loved this book! It was the first one I've read by Celia Rivenbark. It took me one day to read it. I couldn't put it down. My favorite chapter? Revenge of the Amish Friendship Bread!!! I can't wait to read her other book!

Summary: Funny, Funny Book!
Review: I was shocked to see only a handful of reviews of this book. Celia is a writer who deserves much more exposure for her witty brand of southern common-sense humor. Her writing is very down-to-earth and is garanteed to garner several full-belly laughs. With the success of other southern humorists such as Jeff Foxworthy, this book should be much more widely-read.

Summary: Tell it like it is, sister!
Review: Move over, Sweet Potato Queens and Ya-Ya Sisterhood. There's a new girl in town. Sister Celia tells it like it is. As a self-proclaimed Deddy's girl and former recipient of the Amish Friendship Bread Starterk, I can tell you that Misseriz Rivenbark's descriptions of redneck women ("the object of her desire, a stringy, tatooed, shirtless lser, lurched out of the sotre, grinning drunkenly") and Southern Bridal Mothers ("no more tenacious, single-minded and utterly obnoxious creature on this earth") are dead-on. Her penchant for explaining inexplicable Southernisms (womanless weddings, snow-induced bread-buying) makes this collection of wonderings an education in paperback. Not to worry, Ms. Rivenbark doesn't limit her eagle-eye observations solely to the South but touches on life as all god's chillren know it...above or below the Mason-Dison...by pondering many of society's most pressing issues: Where DID Lorena Bobbitt ever find a knife THAT sharp, for instance. It is truly a joy to enter Rivenbark's world with sports-crazed hubby (affectionately known as her favorite Martian), Tinky-Winky loving toddler Sophie, Hairdresser Branda and Snowball the indredible cat. Picking up the book is like finding a new girlfriend...only this time, you can hear from her only when and if you want.

Summary: Y'all need to buy this one!!!
Review: Never reviewed a book before, and I'm an avid Amazon customer and reader. But just had to let everyone know about this one. I bought it while on vacation recently, and the friend I went with picked it up to read a chapter at random. By the time she finished the third chapter, she was crying with laughter! The chapter was about brushing the cat's teeth, which when you think about it, is funny in itself. But Rivenbark's description takes it from merely funny to gut-wrenching hilarious! This book is truly one-of-a-kind. If you miss it, shame on you! You missed the best of its kind.
