Review # 1 was written on 2010-11-07 00:00:00 James Maddox I'm one of those "Cover Judgers" who absolutely does not agree that you can't judge a book by one. I happened upon this one completely by accident and am so glad that I did. I think that this is one of those books that if you're from the South or you have Southern relatives, you will laugh hysterically because you can totally relate to this stuff. If you're not, or you don't, there's a good chance that you'll probably be thinking, "What the hell?"

Review # 2 was written on 2011-03-28 00:00:00 Anthony Beard Okay, while I agree that I would probably inflict bodily harm on a husband for throwing out my coupons, I'm totally not with her on the importance of dressing small children to impress. She's just not that funny. The events that she tries to build up into humorous, relatable, anecdotes aren't interesting or significant enough to stand on their own. You feel like she's writing soap bubbles, trying to make her dull, sheltered, middle-American life seem colorful and herself and her under-educated, successful-in-a-provincial-setting friends seem feisty in the face of . . . well, nothing, really. The tyranny of footie pajamas and grocery-store points? And she's not that tarnished. She'd be funnier if she were.
