Rating: Summary: Great book! Review: This book was absolutely hilarious. The story about the redheaded guy gave me a side cramp because I was laughing so hard. I've loaned it to several friends who have also enjoyed it. I even went to their website and picked up a pair of rhinestone sunglasses after reading the book. Gave it 4 stars because there were a couple of less than funny sections, and there are a few books out there that still rate about this one (bridget jones, for example).
Rating: Summary: Southern Belles Gone Bad Review: Jill Conner Brown writes about what most of us southern girls are thinking about. The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love is absolutely hilarious! It's almost embarrassing. Laughing so loudly when you're by yourself makes most people wonder what's wrong with you. Maybe I'll see y'all in Jackson this year. And remember to be particular!
Rating: Summary: Crazy Woman on Beach! Review: I am sure everyone passing by my chair which I had sat up at the edge of the ocean thought I had lost it as I sat there laughing almost to the point of crying. When will the Sweet Potato Queens write another book? More recipes included please.
Rating: Summary: The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love! Review: A Must Read for anyone who does not know how to get eveything she needs, by using "The Promise!" This simple book of recipes and remedies is going to make you scream and beg for mercy!!
Rating: Summary: The Truth About God Fearin' Women Review: Jill Conner Browne has got to be one of the funniest women I've ever experienced. She speaks the absolute gut-bustin' truth about southern women and our many trials and tribulations. We can all relate to something in her books. After reading the books, I went to Jackson to meet the Sweet Potato Queens and walk in the St. Patrick's Day Parade. What an eye-opening, life-altering experience! Those women know how to throw a party and leave their inhibitions at home. I had the absolute best time of my life!!!
Rating: Summary: Read It, Love It, Live It Review: I LOVE THIS BOOK! Read it in a single day this summer sitting by the pool --- snickering all the while. Warning: if you read this in public, you will be asked CONSTANTLY what you're laughing at. I can't reccomend this book highly enough.
Rating: Summary: Fun book Review: I enjoyed the book, but found a few places where I thought the men-bashing went too far. But moments of comedy are sprinkled throughout. And the 5-man concept is right on target - one can't expect 1 man to provide everything one desires - it takes at least 5. Lover, friend, sugardaddy, fix-it man, and father of your children, as I recall. :)
Rating: Summary: FINALLY, THE TRUTH ABOUT THOSE ROYAL YAMS! Review: OH, YOU MAY THINK YOU KNOW WHAT THIS READ IS ALL ABOUT BEFORE YOU BEGIN. BUT, DO NOT BE DECEIVED, YOU WILL RECEIVE A GREAT RIDE THAT INCLUDES ANTEDOTES OF LOVE, LUST AND PURE FAMILY DRIBBLE. THE RECIPES ARE A MERE RESTING AREA BETWEEN CHOCOLATE CONCOCTIONS AND SWEET POTATO PIES. THE BEST OF A TRADITION BORN BECAUSE IT HAD TO! I HAVE BOUGHT THIS BOOK FOR FRIENDS THAT HAVEN'T SMILED SINCE NIXON LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE. AND THEY LOVED IT! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR...GET THIS BOOK OR WRITE YOUR WILL. GOD BLESS THE SWEET POTATO QUEENS IN ALL OF US!
Rating: Summary: Sweet Potato Queens Book of Love Review: I picked this book for my bookclub based solely upon the glowing reviews on this site. I was the only one to finish the book - and I only did so because I felt obligated to. This book is just too silly and over - the - top. I got the impression that this book is working too hard to shock you - it's too in your face, trying too hard to impress you with its antics. There is a message to be found in the book - a "moral of the story" if you will, but I'm not sure it is worth the effort.
Rating: Summary: We are all [envious] Review: The Sweet Potato Queens are fabuously funny and irrepresible girls/ladies/women...all the titles with all the humor. We have started a loosely knit group of Queens in Kentucky based on Jill Connor Browne's too funny handbook. After you read her book, you may not actually do all the things she suggests, but you will want to in some part of your heart. Reading her book can brighten up any party with stories from it. It's a funny must to read.
