Summary: Definitely Not The YaYas!
Review: 5 stars! Please, do tell me what you people see in this book. I was generous in giving it 2 stars (it did make me smile a few times). In my opinion it is poorly written and just simply silly. The Queens have a good time no doubt, I'll give them credit for that, but they are trying too hard to be "all that" when they are clearly not. If y'all won't a good southern read, be sure to pick up a copy of Rebecca Wells "Little Alters Everywhere" and "Devine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood".Just my humble opinion...

Summary: A hilarious how-to
Review: What a gloriously funny book! Even the recipies were funny, and well, how funny did you think a recipie could be?! I "discovered" this book en route to Jamaica back in May--the stranger next to me read it all the way there. Well, the cover just grabbed me and I HAD to have it. It was a quick, light read that had a very wise and uplifting last chapter. Oh, and for those who are clueless like me in the beginning, this is not a fiction novel, but a wacky manual about life, love and other good stuff that we should all follow to the hilt!

Summary: For those of you who never want your life to be "beige"
Review: I agree with all the "Tammies" that this book should forever after be referred to as "The Book". I am a 35 year old wife and mother who needed reminding of what fun we women can have. Do yourself a favor; do not hesitate to order this book IMMEDIATELY and while you're at it, you may as well get a half dozen (or more) for your "bestest" girlfriends. The book is the most hysterical I have ever read. My girlfriends and I want to fly Ms. Browne to our hometown to speak. The recipes are to die for. In particular the "New Allison's Mamba Margaritas" have been a hit at all our parties. They make us feel "festive", which is of course the "favorite Queenly way to feel". My husband is at my beck and call for "The Promise", and the lives of my friends and myself will never again be the same. We vow to make a pilgrimage to "The Parade" at some point. Buy the book and be a "Queen". You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Heaven help me, I want to be a Queen!
Review: This is laugh-out-loud funny. And, heaven help me, I want to be a Queen! I devoured this delicious Southern dish in about a day and a half. In fact, I would meet my husband at the car when he came home so I could start reading parts of it to him before he was in the door good. I loved Ms. Browne's warped plan for living a full life. The Queens' ideas on love, life, men, raising children and more are funny and wise. What's more, "always wear pretty underwear, on account of you just never know" is excellent advice. We should all be so prepared.

Summary: I ain't neva been a chicken plucker...
Review: I ain't neva been a chicken plucker thanks to my mama, St. Martin's and Hollins College. Just finished my mom's tattered copy with a charming note & autograph by JCB, and I can't stop grinning. Having grown up "Southern," I know these "modacious" women, and I called you one and all "Miss" Tammy. I know you all said to drop the "Miss" because like "ma'am," it didn't fit with y'all's self image, but dammit, you have to give a Queen the proper mode of address. Miss Tammy, thank you for telling it like it still is. This book was the Come Back Sauce I needed to ruminate on my own blessed childhood in a Humidified Oz. Read this and dream you are a Queen, or just refresh your memory of how you became a Queen. JCB, you get five beans in my review! Snow Queen to Sweet Potato Queen: Like Butter!

(Recipes included) Bawdy, vulgar, trashy, hilarious, outrageous and wonderful. Advice on love, sex, men, being prepared, being audacious, being yourself, or the self you were meant to be. Then buy extra copies for those girls who couldn't make the party!

Summary: WONDERFUL, HILARIOUS READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I was in the bookstore looking for some travel magazine and parked myself down in a chair that was next to a table full of books. The colorful cover caught my eye and I opened it right in the middle and began to read. I laughed until I had tears running down my cheeks and realized I must have this book and start from the beginning. What a truly delightful book.A must read!! What I would do to be a Sweet Potato Queen!!!
