Ruby Ann's Down Home Trailer Park Guide to Livin' Real Good

Summary: SAW HER ON JOHN WALSH SHOW
Review: After seeing Ruby Ann on the John Walsh Show I ordered her book. My mother was over at the time and Ms. Boxcar had both of us in tears from laughter. So as soon as the show was over both my mother and I ordered her book, I purchased this one and my mother purchased "Ruby Ann's Down Home Trailer Park Cookbook". Can I say that the books were even better then she was on TV. My mother and I couldn't put them down. And the funny thing is that neither of us has ever lived in a trailer park, but we still get the jokes and the humor. Eventually we swapped books with each other. All I can say is that both books were pure pleasure, and the food is pretty good as well. My mother and I have already ordered all her other books and soon we will have two sets, one for me and one for my mother. We can't wait for our next Ruby Ann fix. If you enjoy eating as well as laughing, then this book is a must.

Summary: MARTHA STEWART HAS MET HER MATCH!
Review: After seeing Ruby Ann on the John Walsh Show, I ran out and picked up her "Livin' Real Good" book to give as a gift to my mother in-law. Before I wrapped it up I thought I should give it a quick read just to make sure it was actually something my mother in-law would enjoy. I ended up reading the entire book, and decided to keep it myself. I haven't laughed like this since I read my first Erma Bombeck book. Ms. Boxcar had me in tears. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect. She had been funny as all get out when she cooked on John Walsh, but I wasn't sure if this was a cookbook or just what. Well, let me tell you that it is not a cookbook. She does have a few recipes in it, but for the most part, with her tips on make-up, gardening, decorating, tipping, dining out, entertaining, and money matters just to name a few chapters, it is more of a Martha Stewart type book with a sense of humor. For example, who else but Ruby Ann would think to make a bird feeder and a matching birdbath out of old tires and trashcan lids? The Elvis shrine made from an old pop bottle is a must for any Elvis fan. And I bet you won't find a gingerbread trailer home how to in any of Martha's books. The only bad thing about this book is that it will make you want to go out and buy all her other books. Did I mention I'm hooked on Ruby Ann Boxcar? As you can guess, every adult on my shopping list is getting one of her books this year including my father in-law who loves to grill (He gets her "BBQ Cookbook"). So basically I will be giving the best gift anyone can give, the gift of laughter. As for my mother in-law, she is getting the entire set. I have a feeling that after this Christmas I will become her favorite daughter in-law. My only hope is that Ms. Boxcar keeps writing more books so my gift giving will be this easy every year.

Summary: BUY TWO OF THESE BOOKS
Review: I made the mistake of buying one book as a gift. I'd heard how good Ruby Ann's books are, and I have a pal that is a big Martha Stewart fan, so I ordered this book for her. When it arrived I started to wrap it up, but paused to glance at it. The pictures caught my eye and after just one page I was hooked. Not only didn't I wrap the book, I took it to my bedroom to keep for myself on the nightstand. I first tried to read it as fast as I could before our gift exchange, but with each page my feeling of personal possession grew stronger. I ended up having to buy a second copy to give to my pal, and additional copies to give to my other friends as well. The lesson here is that if you plan on giving "Ruby Ann's Down Home Trailer Park Guide to Livin' Real Good" as a gift, don't open it up, or just pick up two copies, one for the gift and one for you. I've already told all my friends to get me her other books this year. Now if they just come through. Ruby Ann Boxcar is 100% fall-out-of-the-bed-with-laughter funny regardless if you live in a trailer or not.
