Book Reviews of Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Raising Children for Fun and Profit, The (Sweet Potato Queens) (Sweet Potato Queens)
Book Review: disappointing...
Summary: 2 Stars
I loved the other SPQ books, and this one started off laugh-out-loud great... but then it lost momentum. I felt like half the book was an advertisement for her other books, and i got tired of her use of the word "herveryownself." Once or twice would have been fine, but it got tiresome. If you can borrow a copy, it might be worth the read, but don't waste your money buying the book.
