Hilarious, hysterical, giggleworthy, riotous, amusing, FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY!!!!!
Have I made myself clear? This book was easily the funniest book I've read in a LONG time. The first chapter had me in stitches, and I laughed out loud consistently through the rest of the book as well.
Critical reviews have compared Celia Rivenbark to Dave Barry; I'd say that sounds about right - except I can relate to her better than I can relate to him.
In any event, this author is a rare, true talent and I can't wait to get my hands on more of her books. This one is going on my keeper shelf, for sure. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I found a lot of the things she talked about to be funny but I felt like there was just a little bit to much sarcasim in the book. If you are a mother with kids you can relate to much in the book. If you are from the south, then you REALLY can relate. Good for a few chuckles.

Really, really, laugh your butt off funny. I read and laughed out loud through most of this book. I'm telling you if this author were my next door neighbor, I'd not get anything done. I'd spend all my time listening to her talk. She is hilarious, and so much of what she says is true!!!. Loved this bbok.

Okay, so, I am a "Yankee" who went to college in Kentucky, which Ms. Rivenbark would probably dub a "border state" as opposed to the true South. My roommate and best friend, however, was an Alabama gal whose Mom made the best sweet tea in the country and who began a launch into gossip with the patented Southern phrase "I don't mean to be ugly, but . . . " This book not only brings me back to my 4-years of college in the South and all the cultural bizarritudes that I witnessed in the name of being "Southern," but it is also laugh-out-loud funny for a working mother who aspires to be a "slacker Mom" and is also a (self-acclaimed) expert in pop culture and politics. Way to go, Celia! I can't wait to read your other 2 books.
