Summary: WORE MY FINGERS OUT TURNING THE PAGES
Review: This book ROCKS honey. There are characters you love and those you love to hate. Its one of those books you worry and think about long after youve finished. Better than the "Yah Yah Sisterhood" which its been compared to. Go read it girlfriends!

Summary: Leaves you spinning in circles!
Review: If you really want to experience "crazy," read Michael Lee! "Crazy Ladies" was absolutely captivating, mezmerizing, and breath-taking. I found my self completely entering the wild lives of Miss Gussie and her crazy kin and becoming part of the family. . .I hated to leave them when I read that last line and closed the book. I immediately had to pass it on to my own mother and grandmother for them also to enjoy! Michael Lee is truly my inspiration as a future writer and I can't wait to experience more of his work. "Crazy Ladies" left me laughing, weeping, sighing, and left my head spinning in a million dizzy, "crazy" circles!!!

Summary: THIS BOOK WILL STAY WITH YOU LONG AFTER YOU FINISH IT.
Review: Along the lines of the Ya-Ya sisters, but more memorable. After you finish, you will still be thinking about it. A bittersweet story of three generations of women and a black maid who observes the family growing up. It's worth experiencing their good and bad times.

Summary: You Must Read This One
Review: Once in a long while does a book affect me like CRAZY LADIES. In our reading group alone I know several women who have read this book over and over they love it so much. The six characters take turns talking and each one is unique. As yo read you travel from the Great Depression to World War II to the Fifties to the Sixties and onward to the 70's. Earth shattering things keep happening. A baby gets born on the kitchen floor, a woman shoots a man and burys him in her garden, a woman hitchhikes to California to become a hippie and gets raped and so on. It is a rollercoaster ride of a read and your never bored and it's over too soon.

Summary: A terrific read, reality with a dash of fun.
Review: Just when you think you have the plot figured out, the roller coaster dips again and there's another surprise waiting. A very powerful book that makes you feel these women's pain -- and makes you jealous of their bond.

Summary: The Best Book I've Read in Ages
Review: I soooo enjoyed this book about Miss Gussie and her crazy kinfolk. It touched my heart because families are like this in real life. Although I'll wager than not many bury a man in the zinnia bed! Not many dig for a jacuizzi and turn up two skeletons. But this is only a small fraction of what happens. It's a real lively book and you can give it to anyone old or young and they'll love it.

Summary: If You Loved the YaYa's, You'll Love Crazy Ladies!
Review: A page turner! Right from the opening when Miss gussie buried the man alive in her garden, I was hooked. And that was for openers. I found this book after reading Rebecca Wells second book and then her first book. Like the YaYas, Crazy Ladies is a mother daughter story that has a damaging side. A mother who can't help but love one daughter more than the other and the daughter who spends her whole life trying to get a portion of that love and yet getting herself into deeper and deeper trouble. Oh it was a FABULOUS book. Highly recommended to anyone who likes to stay up late with a book or to anyone who likes the books of Rebecca Wells. These writers are top notch.

Summary: I Couldn't Put It Down!
Review: A beautifully written hilarious novel! I was glued to Crazy Ladies for two solid days. I could have read faster but I had to answer the phones and do my job! So many times I laughed outloud and at the end I put my head on my desk and sobbed. I didn't want it to end. My girlfriend said what's the matter with you? I held up the book and said read this. Then she got hooked and kept slipping to the ladies room to read. She almost got in trouble with our supervisor! Since then my dog ear copy has made the rounds at the office. It's so good you'll want to read it over and over again.

Summary: Corny Tear-jerker
Review: This book was written like a corny summer movie tear-jerker. The plot was predictable, the descriptions and dialogue were often very clunky and simplistic. I really didn't love any of the characters. I felt like I was reading a rough draft for someone's first novel. It was okay, but alot of the writing really needed to be reworked--there were nuggets of really good passages amongst the fields of corn. I have a feeling that Ms. West developed her voice in her subsequent novels so I WILL give her another chance.
