Summary: Love that sibling rivalry!
Review: I had never read anything by Rita Mae Brown prior to reading Six of One...what an introduction! Ms. Brown came highly recommended to me, as I love authors who write southern fiction, complete with quirky and eccentric characters and a laugh on every page. And Six of One offers a heapin' helpin' of the good stuff! Juts and Wheezie's revenge against each other will keep you rolling. It is sibling rivalry at it's best. Plus, I love the fact that the book spans eighty years, so we get to see what happens to most of the characters from life until death. Thank goodness there are two other books in the Hunsenmeir sisters series. Don't want to miss out on any more of their crazy antics!

Summary: Reality shown hanging, in all it's twisting honesty
Review: I read this when I was very young, not long after reading the gripping but totally depressing Well of Loneliness. Six of One was the first lesbian title I read that made me laugh and feel hopeful. What a Joy!!

Summary: "Here Lady, you dropped your underpants ..."
Review: I've read this out loud to family and friends whenever I loaned out this book, and every time I laughed my head off. So did my mother, my gay neighbor, and my eight-year-old brother. This is funny stuff and it holds up over time, a hallmark of good writing.Clearly, her outrageous characters and improbable situations won't appeal to everyone, but Rita Mae Brown is one hilarious writer. Her tone can be a mite self congratulatory, with an "Aren't I the smart one" undercurrent, but she is an outstanding storyteller. Even if she never wrote another word, "Six of One" is a gift for every reader who picks it up.

Summary: literature for people
Review: IMHO this is the best book that Rita Mae Brown has written. As other reviewers have noted there are hilarious scenes in the book. If the events occurring during the fourth of July parade don't have you falling off your chair, then you're not breathing. Although the book is quite funny, that's not what I enjoy most about it. What makes 6 of 1 so special to me is the way it describes relationships between people. These relationships strike home and appear real rather than fictional. When I looked at 6 of 1 on amazon many of the 'listmania' lists categorized this as literature for lesbians. I disagree, this is literature for everyone.

Summary: Where Revenge was first served cold
Review: Oft quoted, especially by conservative men who would probably shudder if they knew Brown was the source of their potted wisdom, the line "revenge is a dish best served cold" originates from this book.
