Rating: Summary: We want more! Review: Being a native of New Orleans, I always enjoy literature about life in the Big Easy, but this one tops the cake! Even if the story wasn't hysterical, the language in each sentence would have you laughing out loud. It was absolutely therapeutic!
Rating: Summary: Painfully, sweetly funny--painfully, sweetly true Review: HONK if your ex-husband is as bad as mine--but you've managed to keep your sense of humor about him! Love this book--clearly, that ex was a hound but rather than retreating in bitterness, Conner embraces his badness--from a safe distance--and finds the humor that is the saving grace for all of us of the human persuasion. And, good eats never hurts any either!
Rating: Summary: Howling good time in the Big Easy Review: I laughed. I cried. I read this one all in one night. I don't remember dinner. But I'll never forget the brown dog.This is a raucous report of a very messy divorce that becomes a one of a kind love story. The book is addictive. Once started it is very, very difficult to put down. I loved the trip through the R & B bar society, the nude swim with the brown dog in the upscale men's club and so much more. Read it. Love it. Eat dinner first. Find out why you don't pet the brown dog.
Rating: Summary: BEST BOOK THIS YEAR Review: I love this book and so do the men in my life. This is a wonderful and hilarious story and it's not a "chick book"! I wish there were more from this writer.

Rating: Summary: Skip this book and be glad you did Review: If you want to read a RAMBLING story with practically no plot and worn out analogies and jokes, this is your book. If you like old recipes with no flavor, try some of these. If you are obsessed with how to divorce your husband but still sleep with him occasionally and get as much ALIMONY as absolutely possible, here is your instruction manual. If you like good Southern stories - fact or fiction, try something else.
Rating: Summary: Getting a life! Review: Judy Conner has found the meaning of life--having, above all else, a sense of humor! I really did not want this book to end--write faster, Miss Judy!
Rating: Summary: An Extraordinary Love Story Review: Ms. Conner stands out from the pack of howling divorcees, bent on baying and nipping at the heels of that no-good straying ex. Instead, Ms. Conner's book is an exploration of the concept that love cannot conquer all, but that's no reason not to honor a valiant effort. This book is an extraordinary love story told with a wit and style that entertains and amuses at the same time that it causes us to examine our defintion of " a love lost."
Rating: Summary: An Extraordinary Love Story Review: Ok, this has nothing to do with the fact that my own personal sister wrote this book. Believe me, we are hard, cynical women--we knew that if our own kids turned out ugly, we would know it and not think they were cute anyway, just because they are ours. Fortunately, they DID turn out perfect so we were not called upon to be so brutally honest but the point is--if my sister was not funny--I would know it and I would not say she was just because she's my sister. Funny is important to us and I would not lie about a thing like that. This book is hilarious--and true--and sweet, in a way that's peculiar to our family, I think. It is my opinion that you will love this book and be somehow improved by the reading of it--certainly your disposition will be improved and that counts for a lot in this world.
