Summary: made me glad I learned to read
Review: funniest and sweetest words from my favorite part of the world. Since readin' has worked out so well for me, I'm thinkin' about tryin' shoes next. Or majorette boots. I have owed my own tiara forthe last l5 years. You just never know.

Summary: Shallow trash, a major disappointment
Review: Am I the only one who thinks this book is just trite trash with a Southern accent? I was hoping for some wit or some redeeming wisdom, but Jill and Tammy(s) bring naughty to a new low. I hoped for Winston Churchill, but what Browne delivers is pure southern governor with pants down. I've already heard enough about blow jobs to last a lifetime. "Sweet Potato Queens'Book of Love" is not perfume, merely toilet water written at tenth grade level. After the Ya-Yas, I was looking forward to a good Southern fix. But this book confirms the worst stereotypes of crass Southern Dingdongs. I'm not passing it on or even selling it at a garage sale. It's going in the garbage with "A Monk Swimming." Don't waste your time or money. I'm sorry I did. One star is one too many.

Summary: These are my people.
Review: Oh, my Gawwwddd, is this a funny book. I laughed until my head ached and my abdominal muscles were quivering.I have never worn sequins, or big hair, nor, sadly, did I ever own a pair of Majorette boots, either, but this book made me know to my deepest core, that I want all of these things. All I want to do before I die is eat Chocolate stuff and drink Fat Mama's Knock You Naked margaritas, and spend just one St. Paddy's Day in Jackson, Mississippi, dancing in the streets like a true Sweet Potato Queen Wannabe. Y'all buy this book. You might as well buy a bunch, 'cause your friends are gonna "borrow" your copy and never give it back.

Summary: Laugh out loud, funny till it hurts
Review: I read this book on a plane and had people blocking the aisles asking what I was reading due to repeated laughter and a constant smile. This might be the funniest book I have read. It is also one of the wisest. I Wannabe a Queen!!!!!

Summary: Funny, fast education for Southern-girl wannabes
Review: Though women around the world will find this book entertaining, it's only a born and raised Southerner who can appreciate the humorous accuracy of this little jewel. Inspirational for those of us who have long lived the "Queen" mentality.

Summary: I laughed, I cried, I blew Coke out of my nose!!!
Review: Absolutely one of the BEST books, I've ever read. Hillarious, bawdy, campy, yet wise- very wise, indeed!! I mean, here is a story about SELF-MADE women-- southern, independent women out there in the real world, living their lives on their terms, not what 'society' says is 'proper'. Jill cuts through all the facades and myths, and tells it like it is- basically telling us to get over ourselves, and live life to the fullest!! Jill and the Queens are all friends, and being a Wannabe is the highlight of my life!! Come on down, the parade is March 20th, we always need more wannabe's...

Summary: Self-proclaimed beauty queen's guide to fulfillment!
Review: I love this book! It is so funny that I have to keep setting it down and lauighing hysterically. BUT not only that, it is FULL of real, easy-to-follow, practical advice. Even for men! My favorite: "Don't waste your precious life moping over the vacancies of your childhood...." This referred to majorette boots, but could apply to everything! Plus, I love the all-encompassing attitude about race, gender, sexual orientation. Let's face it, I am a Sweet Potato Queen wanna-be! And I'm a guy! I may have to leave California and move to Jackson.

Summary: A Shitkickin' Laugh A Page!
Review: My SOLE complaint about this deliciously bawdy book is that Jill Conner Browne and all the Tammys spill the beans, telling every one of the campy, vampy trade secrets we Southern women learned in utero! And we use them, too - whether we still live on the old home place or, as in my case, have been transplanted to such foreign lands as New York City. I was laughing so loudly that I almost got thrown off the Crosstown bus.

Summary: Put this one in your shopping cart now and don't waste time!
Review: I am still drying my tears of laughter from reading this book in about 24 hours. ( sleep time figured in too!) I couldn't put the blessed thing down. Jill Conner Browne has a sense of humor that I thought was so refreshing I went right out and bought the ingredients to "Chocolate Stuff" and "Fat Mama's Knock You Naked Margaritas." If you are looking for a saucy, point blank, down and dirty, honest look at "the way it really is", (love, that is, and a lot of other bits of life wisdom), you have to buy this book now! You won't ever waste your time again with another self-help book or a book of "rules" again, you won't need them. Jill nails the bottom line with her attitude and opinions and you'll sware she just said exactly what has run through your mind many times. My hat's off to you Jill, and I can't wait to start a Sweet Potato Queen Club!!! Amen!
