Rating: Summary: I wanna be a Queen when I grow up Mama Review: This is the funniest book I've read this year. I'd seen the Sweet Potato Queen book on the shelves for years but I always found a reason not to buy it. I finally ran out of distractions and I'm so glad I did because this book was a sheer joy. For two hours I laughed, sighed and noded my head. It flat out made me happy. I couldn't ask for more.
Rating: Summary: When you can't be near your Girlfriends Review: This book was one of the best I've read on so many levels. I live too far away from my girlfriends and this book was a great substitute to all the crazy things my friends and I do when we're together. I love that these group of women actually exist and that they are so committed to laughing with and at the rest of the world. I'd actually even consider taking a trip to Jackson's St. Patrick's Day Parade with my friends to see these women and laugh along with them. I hope Ms. Browne decides to keep writing! Thanks for the laughs.
Rating: Summary: Love it! Love her! Love the Queens! Review: What a fun adventure these gals take you on. I absolutely rolled on the floor w/laughter. If you're looking for a good time and a wonderful philosophy on life -- this is your book. Word of warning though -- it's tough coming to the end. You just don't wanna say goodbye. But never fear, chocolate stuff can help ease your pains!
Rating: Summary: Funny Plus Yummy! Review: I have to be honest, I hadn't heard of the Sweet Potato Queens, even though I live in the South, but the title of this one caught my eye. "The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love" by Jill Conner Browne will not only make you laugh, it will make you hungry! Filled with wacky advice which actually makes sense and great recipes which make you want to head in the direction of the kitchen. If you're looking for a fun book, this is a good choice.
Rating: Summary: An Entertaining Read Review: This book is one of those books that reminds women to feel good about themselves and to just be themselves. There are some light-hearted stories and some outrageous stories told by the narrating SPQ leader. Several times, I found myself looking at my husband and just laughed ("The True Magic Words Guaranteed to Get Any Man to Do Your Bidding"). An entertaining read. I do think, however, I would've enjoyed this book more if I were a little more grown-up (read: Older). I can see me having more of an SPQ view when my kids are a little bit older and I'm a little bit wiser in the ways of the world.
Rating: Summary: GREAT! Review: Fat Mama's Knock You Naked Margaritas?! Worth the price alone for recipe names like that! And the humor doesn't quit. Borrowed this book from my wife and thought I'd hate it. But God, laughed my butt off. I can see why women like this, but guys with a sense of humor will, too. Other books also good for lots of laughs - "No One's Even Bleeding" and "Delano".
Rating: Summary: Idiotic Review: ...I guess there are people out there you who like this type of book; books about oh-so-eccentric Southern women run around playing the part of aging Southern Belles, as if in this enlightened post-slavery, post-feminist era, it isn't downright idiotic or even offensive to behave like a such a shallow ninny. I am a woman from the Deep South (born and raised on the milk of magnolia blossoms) but if my close circle of friends and I met any of these women in person we'd find them instantly annoying. I'm not humorless, or a book snob -- I love "wasting" an afternoon reading something completely frivolous and unnecessary, but this poorly-written book was just a true waste of time.
Rating: Summary: Enjoyable read Review: I have been searching for humor books. This is a cute, funny book but is not often laugh-out-loud funny. Is an enjoyable way to pass the time. Good enought that I am now reading the sequel "God Save The Sweet Potato Queens". If you are looking for lighthearted fun and are not a prude or easily offended, this is a good choice.
Rating: Summary: Laugh out loud reading!!! Review: This may well be the most hilarious book I've ever read! I found myself laughing outloud while reading it. Jill Conner Browne weaves colorful characters and stories like a fine tapestry - all with the good Southern down home delivery only a good Mississippi girl can do! The True Magic Words Guaranteed to Get Any Man to Do Your Bidding chapter is a must read for all women - both north and south of the Mason Dixon Line!!...
Rating: Summary: Funniest book I've ever read Review: This book has got it all.But don't take my word for it, buy it yourself.It has got alot of funny stories and some great advice.Don't be a wimp, get some guts and follow their advice.
