Summary: Success again
Review: Marrying Mom took me all of one day to read. I just could not put it down. The characters were so real and the plot was just hysterical. If your stuck in the house or feeling blue, this is most definitely the book to get you laughing again.Olivia, keep up the good work!

Summary: A FUNNY READ
Review: Phyllis Geronomous IS the mother from hell! But you gotta laugh at her and her antics......maybe I laughed lots more than other readers because of my growing up in a Jewish neighborhood, but this was one heck of a "keep your legs crossed" funny book! Her three kids want to get her married to get out of their way (and their lives so to speak).........but they find out that "Mom really does know best"..... This author hasn't disappointed me yet.....It's a good "pick-me-upper"......

Summary: Insipid.
Review: The plot is vapid and predictable, and everyone ends up happy and rich, their problems miraculously solved through convulsive twists of plot concieved perhaps in the fantasy of a 12 year old girl. Perhaps the author ought to write for a target audience of preteens obsessed with brand names. I doubt it would be possible to have mentioned any more hip and expensive designers and brands without charging for advertising space. The supposedly strong women characters have every trouble in their lives solved by marrying wealthy men. Imagine! The dialog is stilted, tacky, and unoriginal. The characters are shallow and irritating. I am embarrassed that I read this all the way through.

Summary: I was skimming it towards the end...
Review: There wasn't a single character in this book that I honestly liked and wanted to root for. I got the feeling the author dashed this book off over a long weekend. Didn't she write the First Wive's Club? THAT book was funny and had real characters, not boring cardboard cutouts.

Summary: Laughter from beginning to end!
Review: This book was one of a kind. It kept me interested the WHOLE time. There was never a point where I got bored with the story line, or the characters, although they were a little undeveloped. The plot was somewhat unrealistic, pretty corny, and the characters were slightly crazy. The characters just seemed like they had maybe two descriptions and that was it. Although I have to give it to the author, it was HILARIOUS! It is about three grown up kids who have lived on their own and have begun to produce a life for themselves. They discover that good old widowed mom wants to make a surprise visit, and permanent stay in New York, with the kids. Of course the kids do not want their insane, and nosey mother in their lives anymore, so they kids set up Operation Geezer Quest, to marry mom off. Their focus is an old, rich, and probably insane man for her to marry. Then hopefully through the process, they can marry her off fast enough that her new hubby can give the kids more then plenty of money to set them straight for their entire lives! Throughout the many men the mother dates, the family becomes closer and closer together. The one thing that disappointed me about this book was the ending. It seemed so abrupt and totally expected from the very start. Yet, it is a great little slice of heaven when you just want a book to read to have a break from reality!

Summary: What a trip!!!!!
Review: This book was so funny and real that it was scary!!!! Ever wonder what that would be like?? Having your mother in your life after all that time? This one is a winner. Olivia shows us her "family" side and does a damn good job at it. This book is short and can be read in 2 sittings.mmr

Summary: Delightful fun!
Review: This is a wonderfully delicious read, sheer fun from beginning to end. So what if the "Mom" of the title is a real pain in the butt? So what if her adult children are three totally neurotic, self-obsessed New Yorkers? So what if none of them have the exact idea of what Christmas is all about? It's delightful fun to watch them interact in the month before Christmas when "Mom" decides she's tired of Florida and decides she wants to move north to be with the kids. None of them can imagine living within 1000 miles of her, of course. It's fun to watch their crazed scheme of marrying her off to the first available old man they can find. It's wickedly funny and very easy to read and enjoy.
