Summary: A Hoot!
Review: I started reading Jill's book on an airplane on the way to our vacation spot this summer. It was funny,but I did not get it completed. Therefore, it became my bathroom reading material for the 7 day vacation. My husband started reading it as well. (I discovered this when I heard him laughing out loud in the bathroom. What else could it be?) I started to spend more and more time in the bathroom. My co-travelers were starting to think there was a problem...The longer I read, the funnier it got. It is worth spending the [money] for the recipes alone. Unfortunately, I am always on a diet, but one day, I am going to be feeling sorry for myself, and I am going to whip up a batch of the "chocolate stuff". My favorite part of the book is about the possum. If you are not fortunate enough to live in the deep south, you may refer to this large ugly creature as an opossum. Call it what you will, I honestly thought I would die laughing. I do not see how on earth this actually happened, but I do not think even Jill is clever enough to make this up! I can not tell you anymore, it would spoil the surprise. If you are what I refer to as "prissy", for gosh sakes, do not buy this book. This book is, however, intended for people- guys or gals- that have been around the block a time or too. You can not appreciate it unless you have (1)dated creepy people (2)been hurt deeply (3)sought revenge (4)did thinks that didn't make sense just for the hell of it! In this day of stress, stress, stress, it is nice to find something that can give you enough pleasure to make you have a big belly laugh! Buy several copies today because you will want all your buddies to read it too!

Summary: Top notch beach book
Review: This hilarious and to-the-point book about the ins and outs of love was the highlight of a recent beach trip I took with two other women and our children. It was definitely not a book for the children! But the Moms (one a gen-u-wine zipadedoodah) took turns reading the book aloud to each other and we howled with laughter. From the hazards of big haired women and divorce to the five men necessary for a complete life (that could be a low ball number depending on your particular needs) we remained entranced. It is certainly not high brow but REAL LIFE. I ordered 5 copies!

Summary: It had potential
Review: I couldn't even force myself to laugh nor finish this book. What a waste of time. Save your money.

Summary: The Sweet Potato Queens Book Of Love
Review: This is one of the funniest books I have ever read. Browne and the Queens (a/k/a Tammy) offer advice on everything from love to food, all of which constitute my new rules for life! This is a must read for all of us who have been around the block a few times, yet still harbor the simple desire to look good and have a good time.

Summary: SPQ's Rule
Review: This is by far the most hilarious book I have ever read in my life. You might as well buy copies for all of your girlfriends because to lend out(and possibly lose) your copy would be unthinkable. Click to order as fast as you can. We should all hope and pray for the sequel.

Summary: Everything you ever wanted to know about having fun!
Review: THE Sweet Potato Queen dances you into the lives of eight of the people I'd most like to spend an evening talking to and laughing with. Just the right combination of irreverence and truth. This is the Ya Ya Sisterhood turned loose! If you are overly serious, literal and/or virtuous this is not for you. BUT if you like to laugh and look at life a little askew...BUY THIS NOW!

Summary: Buy this book!
Review: This book is full of wonderful advice and even better recipes! Jill Conner Browne (The Sweet Potato Queen herself) has got the most wonderful sense of humor and a razor sharp wit. Reading this book is actually fun to do. Such wonderfully funny anichdotes accompany each recipe or bit of advice for the broken hearted or berieved. I can't wait to read it again, and am chomping at the bit to read her next one coming out valentine's!

Summary: Not as good as I had hoped it would be
Review: This book is poorly written and to say the least not entertaining at all. It is very vulgar and not funny at all. I enjoy Rebecca Welles writing so very much, that I had hoped this would be good. The jacket and back of the book make it sound like a good read. I had to force myself to finish this book. All Jill Browne thinks about is sleeping with men and how to get them to do what you want them to. I cannot in good conscience recommend this book to anyone. I had planned to give it to my sister, but I would never give this trash to anyone. The reviews that I read were good. I have never written a review before, but I could not let the great customer reviews that this book got stand. Naming everyone Tammy was also pretty stupid. This is, according to the back jacket, irreverent, but not funny. Don't waste your time or money buying this book. They must pay the people who comment on the cover and jacket a lot of money!

Summary: Every woman should read this book
Review: This book will make you laugh so hard, you will cry. Buy this book, read it. Then loan it to all your friends. Then the best part - have your own Sweet Potatoe Queens party. I thought my friends knew how to throw a great part until I read this book. These woman are the Qeens of party know-how.

Summary: Praise the Lord for the Sweet Potato Queens!
Review: READ THIS BOOK! It will cause you to do things like run out and buy gem encrusted cat eye sunglasses (I got a sort-of-frosted clear, with pearls), and worry more about your lingerie than whether or not your hair is sufficiently Big! If nothing else, the recipe for the "chocolate stuff" is worth the cost of shipping and handling. The advice given in this book is invaluable - particularly the advice regarding men. If Annie (You know - the Susan Sarandon character from the movie "Bull Durham") was real - she would be a Sweet Potato Queen. Jezebel? - a Sweet Potato Queen. I love this book so much I made my Momma read it - and she says "it should be read once a year, to remind oneself about the true nature of living." That is high praise indeed, coming from my Momma. If you are a woman with an ounce of gumption, a particular vivaciousness, or you know a woman in these categories, buy this book, read it, and pass it on. The world will be a better place for your doing so. Be Particular!
