Rating: Summary: A Book About Everything Southern Review: This is the funniest book that I have read in a long time. It has everything a good Southern book should have in it. There is talk about food, family, friends and everything else imaginable. Oh yes, and the every famous Southern obituaries! You might even have to stop and try out a recipe or two along the way. I laughed at loud while reading this book at times. You just can't put it down once you begin reading it. I just believe that this book is a must read.Once you've read this book, you'll want to come to Jackson, MS, and go to the St. Patrick's Day Parade, vist Hal and Mal's and visit the Queen owned establishements mentioned in the book. This is the most entertaining book you will read all summer! Any Southern woman can relate. And those of you not from the South, well, you will wish you were!
Rating: Summary: Be Particular Review: This is truly a book for anyone who is or has ever known a "Southern Belle". The book is written in a witty and charming manner. Oh, forget it. It was just plain funny! I was snorting (not very lady-like or Queenly) with laughter during my lunch hour while enjoying this book. Lots of great stories and some very practical advise..."be particular" in what you do and the choices that you make in life. Buy it and pass it on to your best girlfriend. I did.
Rating: Summary: The Sweet Potato Queens Reign Supreme! Review: Although I myself am a southern belle, born and raised in Atlanta, Ga. I had never heard about the elusive Sweet Potato Queens until I happened upon this book. What a find it was! I can't remember the last time I giggled/laughed out loud so much at a book. The life, love, and food advice given by the leader of the Mississippi Sweet Potato Queens in this tell all book are hilarious if not dead on. I kept imagining the queens walking around in trashy lingerie and cooking up a storm, all the while being intelligent, happy, and well, Queenly. You get the sense that the author truly knows how to live life to the fullest & she's trying to pass that on through her excellent writing skills. This tome will make you want to liven up your life; or at least whip up one of the heavenly recipes provided. The Sweet Potato Queens Book of Love is truly a joy to read. Pick one up today; you won't be sorry :)
Rating: Summary: The Sweet Potato Queens Book of Love Review: This is possibly the funniest book I have ever read, and I keep re-reading it. I have even sent it to many friends. Jill Conner Browne is yet another great Mississippi writer!
Rating: Summary: Must Read for all Southern Women (and those who love'em) Review: I laughed 'til I cried! Jill Connor Browne has captured the essence of Southern sisterhood! Words of wisdom embedded in the funniest stories imaginable will stick with you like a warm bowl of grits long after you've read and re-read this treasure. If you (and your mama'n them) love the South (with all it's unique ways), you'll come to believe this is the definitive book on Southern fun! All hey-ull the Sweet Potato Queens!
Rating: Summary: My New Heroines Review: This book has to be the most hilarious book I've ever read. Being from the south, I found it easy to relate to and I laughed aloud through the whole reading. You don't have to be from the south, however, to relate to "The Promise", the Four Major Food Groups, and many other funny, funny chapters. I firmly believe that we should all have as much fun as these ladies do, and my friends and I are planning our version of the "Queens" this summer. Our small mountain town in Ouray, Colorado, will see "The Roadside Asparagus Queens" in the 4th of July Parade. And our name is Wanda! Please read this book and laugh and share with your friends.
Rating: Summary: A Must Read for Every Southern Woman Review: I picked this book up on an evening when my husband was out of town, and I'm so glad I did. It was one of the funniest books that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I literally laughed out loud during much of the book. Being from Mississippi and having lived in Jackson, I already knew of the Sweet Potato Queen's, but this "insider's" book was so hilarious. Every southern woman who reads this book will know at least 3 of the Tammy's and will want to become one herself. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: Give this book to your funniest friend Review: The title made me smile. The cover photo made me grin. But that's nothing compared my response to the real life advice for "ladies of a certain age" that fills the book. I laughed out loud -- and often. But the best thing about the Sweet Potato Queen's book is the fun you get from giving it to a friend. I shared my copy with a special person who I love to laugh with. Since then we have had an ongoing, hilarious dialogue fantasizing new ways to use what we've learned (especially about promising guys what they really want). We think the advice from the Sweet Potato Queens can help us save the world, or at least our small corner of it. It's not often that a book which takes just a couple of hours to read also helps a friendship grow and might well help readers rescue a community from the hands of seemingly ruthless developers. I highly recommend that you buy this book now -- but at the same time you must choose which friend you want to share some ongoing and very funny times with too.
Rating: Summary: Sweet Potato Queens Book of Love Review: This was the FUNNIEST book I've ever read! I will never, ever go about unprepared or behave in a way that is not particular. And I'm going to whip up a big ole batch of Chocolate Stuff as soon as I get off this computer. Thank you Queens! I'm going to buy a whole truckload of these books and give one to every single, solitary woman I know! An absolute MUST HAVE!
Rating: Summary: The Funniest Book Ever Review: Quite simply the funniest book I have ever read -- and a guide for living to boot. I'm taking Tammy's advice -- all of it! It's hard to convey inside jokes so they're funny to outside the group, but she made me laugh out loud repeatedly. A rolicking good time, just like the Sweet Potato Queens themselves!
