humor

I love this woman. I read the first story in this new collection, and by the end I was in danger of requiring a box of the Extra Absorbent Depends! I was laughing so hard my husband asked me if I was going to pass out. I have loved every book since her first, Idiot Girls Adventure Club. Then Autobiography of a Fat Bride came out, and I rejoiced! Now this one...it's even better than the last! Her writing is wonderful, warm and funny and monumentally truthful. I can hardly wait for the next book! Meanwhile, I will read this one till the spine cracks (like I did her others) and enjoy every word! Thanks Laurie! You Rock!

Laurie Notaro once again has me choking with laughter! While this book is hillarious as a stand-alone, it's particularly gratifiying for long-time fans, as it finally provides the behind-the-scenes details of those scary weeks when her column was disappearing from the corporate newspaper and website where I learned to love her writing. It also brings back favorite comedic accomplices from the previous books, including Jamie, one of the original Idiot Girls, in the best of these hillarious essays. The situations in which Laurie finds herself seem very familiar to me and many others, but it is her scathing wit that truly sets them apart. This book certainly left me wanting more, but it is not as quick a read as it first appears, since you will frequently find yourself pausing, doubled over with laughter.

What a breath of fresh air,I laughed so hard I was crying! When her husband pees his pants in front of the Fireman was HILARIOUS!! 5 Stars is not enough-BRAVO Laurie!
