Search - Fat Girls and Lawn Chairs

Eh. Honestly, this book was pretty disappointing. I had high expectations, thinking I was going to experience the like of Laurie Notaro or Augusten Burroughs in the pages, but no go. I skimmed through most of the essays. They weren't funny. They were sometimes sad, but mostly boring. The title makes you think this is going to be sarcastic and witty, but it's not.

This book was awful. I started it and could only get about 60 pages in before I had to give up. I expected to LOL but unfortunately this book let me down.

An endless collection of 3 or 4 pages of "laughs". Wears very thin after the first half dozen stories

Boring. Lame. Lackluster. Poorly written. If you want an amusing book of essays, I suggest reading Laurie Notaro or Jen Lancaster's writing. Peck's life is nothing worth reading about.

This book wa a delight to read. The brief essays each had a smile even though one was bitter sweet. A wonderful feel good read!

I'm not sure how this book ended up on my shelf but when I got around to reading it I was not disappointed. I enjoyed the short stories and often found myself laughing out loud.
