[.ca] God Save the Sweet Potato Queens (ISBN 060980619X)

From Amazon.com:
Fans of Jill Conner Browne's hilarious advice and queenly assurance should mix up a margarita and prepare to enjoy themselves with her book God Save the Sweet Potato Queens. Whether you're still a Cute Girl or have made it to the glorified ranks of Fabulous Woman, the allure of big hair, utter confidence, and a sparkly tiara is easily understandable. Forget "less is more"--as Jill and all the Tammys can tell you, "more is more, and also better." As a follow-up to The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love, this gem touches on many of the same topics--marriage, motherhood, fiancés, the Promise, and all-important attitude and style. Added are a ton of side-splitting stories from fans around the country, who are apparently busy starting up their own royal families with names like the "Menopause Mafia" and "Brazen Strumpets"; one startling tale of a mom at the end of her rope who bursts into "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" in public as a last-ditch effort to get her kids to behave wins Conner Browne's award for mother of the year. The chapter titled "How to Be a Girl" is one of the greatest instruction manuals ever for turning men into putty--the big secret, it seems, is a large bow in your hair. Who knew? One big surprise at the end of this book is hiding under the title "Matters of the Heart." Here you'll read a touching homage to a much-beloved friend of the author, and it will have you running for the nearest hanky. If you find yourself in need of a little pick-me-up after this sad tale, turn to the recipe section, where Twinkie Pie, Dinksey's Gooey Bars, and Death Chicken are guaranteed to cheer you right up. --Jill Lightner

no need for a sequel:
I absolutely loved the first book, and I was very dissapointed in this one. I do not know if I will even bother to get the Big Ass Cook Book. The theme was so repetitive from the first book and not near as funny. I was really wanting to love this book, but unfortunately, it will go in the pile to donate, unlike my first book with funny pages flagged. The website is somewhat humorous as well, but if you are a SPQ fan, stop after reading the first book.

The Best of the Three:
This one is the funniest of the three SPQ books. It has priceless moments and for even greater enjoyment, listen to the audiobook read by the author. If you are offended by language or sexual comments, then steer clear. For the rest of us, this is a highly entertaining book and very motivating to aspiring wannabes. The end is bittersweet, but life's laughter often comes from our experiences, both good and bad.

Offensive:
The first book was a little racy and a lot of fun. This book is not much fun and way to racy! Actually it was down right offensive. I'm a big girl and can take some cussing but PLEASE! This was just foul! I was very disappointed...

Not at all what I thought.:
I really did not like this book. I love Southern humor, especially from women, but I found very little of this book truly funny.

Awful!:
As one who has experienced the SPQ's and their 'followers' in life and in person in Jackson, all I can say is that it is the home for the High School bullies who now drink to solve their problems. Seriously, AA should have a chapter at the end of this book. A meaner, more childish, more useless group of women could not exist. So, if you are stupid trash, hate men, have no self-respect and love showing your backside (and front side) in public (literally) then this is the book and these women are for you.
