SOOOO Funny
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is the absolute funniest book I've ever read in my life. Strange ending, but laugh-out-loud-by-yourself funny.
Interesting twist
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is certainly full of family DRAMAS, not unlike any other family. It lets us take a look at "other" and see it in ourselves and just laugh about it. The twist and the end introduced a mystical element that, at first seemed out of place, considering nothing else in the novel was mystical. Nevertheless I enjoyed it and the teachings that drama offered.
Witty, exciting, makes you ponder,this book is brilliant!

This book might help you to discover your own truth about life. Every part of the book was marvelous and the ending turned out to be exactly the way I expected. I would like to thank Rita Mae Brown for writing this book.
Deep
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book helped me to summon the nerve to write my own autobigrphy and let other women out there know that they can follow Rita Mae's example and empower themselves using her stories and example. Not content to stay in the trailer, I left my slob of a husband and moved to the communewhere I read other Great Lesbians and think deeply about life, love, and the mystery of the universe.
Think before you write
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
First of all, let me say that Rita Mae Brown is one of my favorite authors. The "Think before you write" summary line is in reference to the actions of the main character in this witty, and sometimes hilarious novel. The only thing that kept it from being a 10 was the rather odd ending that I should let you discover for yourself. Essentially the book is about a woman who has never quite fit the mold set out for her by her "old south" family, and how she comes to terms with them, and herself. Ms. Brown has an interesting outlook on life, and especially life in Virginia. Irreverent most of the time, her humor has an interesting bite to it. I would recommend any of her offerings, and if you especially like mysteries, check out her Sneaky Pie books
