Summary: Outrageously Funny
Review: "Food and Whine" had me laughing so hard I cried. Jennifer Moses' descriptions of exhausted, stressed out motherhood are hilariously on target. A must read for any new parent who's awake enough to focus on a printed page.

Summary: Rantings of a Whiiiiii---nerrrrr!
Review: A lover of wit and a good read, I picked up this book after reading the back cover's rave reviews. I opened "Food and Whine" with excitement when I read Moses is "the Erma Bombeck of the Beltway."I made it through fifteen pages of Moses whining about her therapist, her children, her mother, her life...until I could take her no longer. With a rolling of the eyes, I shut the book once and forever. I could go no further. Even her therapist avoids her--no wonder.

Summary: Baton Rouge Confidential
Review: A standout in the glut of memoirs released the past few years, this warm and honest account about the travails and joys of raising a family after a dislocating move to another state is a pleasure to read. You feel as if you're talking to your best friend, such is the frankness found in these pages. Moses puts into words so many of the things people think and feel, there are times you think she must have been watching YOUR life to have written scenes with such clarity. Invite her in for coffee. Read her book.

Summary: dads like it too
Review: Domestic humor is not my usual metier (my reading tends more towards civil war history), but my wife was reading this book in bed at night and laughing so hard that I thought I'd better read it for myself. Anyway, it's hilarious. Yes, the husband figure is a bit of a caricature. But as the father of two wonderful and exasperating children, and the husband of one wonderful and exasperating wife, I found it dead on true.

Summary: Not Good
Review: Erma Bombeck was funny. Jennifer Moses is not. This book does not even make an effective door stop.

Summary: Great gift for Moms
Review: Food and Whine deals with some real issues in an open and honest--and very funny--way. It's a fun, easy read-- the perfect gift for any harried mother juggling the demands of small children, a husband, a home, and whatever of her own life is left over. It made me feel a little more sane, or at least that I have some company! I definitely recommend it.
