Book Reviews of God Save the Sweet Potato Queens
Book Review: They're Baaaack !
Summary: 4 Stars
Here we go again...The Queens are back with more advice, anecdotes and recipes. These are the women your mother always warned you about, but probably yearned to be. Hilarious and fast paced, this latest offering from The Queens is a terrific book for yourself or your sister. I should know, I gave copies to my sister, in hopes she would pass them on to her daughter, who is quite a princess in her own right. Read it, share it...and book your plane ticket South for the next parade !Book Review: Let's hear it for peri-menopausal empowerment!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is an unadulterated delight for any woman, whether she be a full-fledged SPQ, a Wannabe, or a Spud. It has a wonderful, affirming message - Be Yourself and Don't Let Anything Stop You!! This is a message we as women hear much too infrrequently and, unfortunately, usually don't fully comprehend until we hit about 50. Just think of all the time we've wasted when we could have had the world by the tail - and on OUR terms!! Move over world, 'cause we are comin' through!!Book Review: Laugh Out Loud Funny
Summary: 4 Stars
Women's power is propounded and extended. These women are really enjoying themselves. This sequel to the 'Sweet Potato Queens Book of Love' is really just a expansion and clarification of the first. It is just as funny, if not more so. The best part of the book is at the end with the little advice that we all can use.
Book Review: This book makes me wanna go to Jackson, MS
Summary: 4 Stars
After living in the little town of Vicksburg, MS for a year, I never thought anything in Jackson could be fun, but this book has convinced me that I need to go back. If not for nothing else than to see these fabolous women! Both books is great for any girl, no matter what age! It left me with a really happy feeling!Book Review: Last Chapter First
Summary: 3 Stars
If foul language offends you, leave this one out of your shopping cart. If you have not read the Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love, leave this one out of your shopping cart. If someone dropping the names of people you do not even know bothers you, leave this one out of your chopping cart. To be fair, this book is mildly amusing in a few places, and laugh out loud funny in one particular story toward the end. (I forced my husband to read the 4 or 5 paragraphs, they were so hilarious.) The last chapter is a crowning achievement of making a person laugh and cry all at once. I think the best way to read this book is from the end to the beginning. That way, if you get bored and put it down, you know you didn't miss the best part.
