The Sweet Potato Queens' Guide to Raising Children for Fun and Profit Review
I was challenged to read any of the Sweet Potato Queens' books by a friend on another web site for those of us who are addicted to reading. I, of course, came to Amazon to hunt up these books and check out for myself what the big attraction was. I found most of the books, and in my own style ordered one of each of the books. I am still in the process of reading them, but have thumbed through and read clips of each one. These ladies are so funny. The books are irreverent...and in some cases a little too spicy for some...but for the most part, Jill writes the thoughts that I'm sure all of us have had at one time or another. There is no doubt in my mind that she absolutely adores her daughter, but some of the stories she writes are so funny you will cry when you are reading them. I think the greatest part of her books is the fact that we can picture ourselves, or someone near and dear to us, in every situation she writes about.
If you love to laugh...and especially if you started out South of the Mason-Dixon Line...you will absolutely love this book. You will laugh so hard your sides will ache. My son came in while I was laughing hysterically and asked what was wrong with me. Told me how strange I was to be sitting alone and laughing so hard. Well, I take that as a compliment. I always wanted to be unique...as are all the Sweet Potato Queens.

disappointing... - kimmeroo22 -
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.
