Book Description:
From the back of the book:
To know the Sweet Potato Queens is to love them, and if you haven't heard about them yet, you will. Since the early 1980's this group of belles gone bad has been the toast of Jackson, Mississippi, with their glorious annual appearance in the St. Patrick's Day parade. In this book, their royal ringleader, introduces the Queens to the world with this sly, hilarious manifesto about love, life, men, and the importance of being prepared. Chapters include:
* The True Magic Words Guaranteed to Get Any Man to Do Your Bidding
* The Five Men You Must Have in Your Life at All Times
* Men Who May Need Killing, Quite Frankly
* What to Eat When Tragedy Strikes, or Just for Entertainment
And, of course:
* The Best Advice Ever Given in the Entire History of the World
From tales of the infamous Sweet Potato Queens' Promise to the joys of Chocolate Stuff and Fat Mama's Knock You Naked Margaritas, this irreverent, shamelessly funny book is the gen-u-wine article.

I agree with Katie and Andrea, this book was alright, but I just couldn't get into the humor. Some of it was rather trashy in my opinion and not something I would really expect to find in this book.
For example, the book gives you tips on how to get your way with anything, get anything you want at all, and get someone to do stuff for you. All you gotta do is get a group of your girl pals together, find a man, and tell him that all of you will do sexual favors for him if he does whatever you want.
I found that rather offensive and even though they say later on that they never live up to their part of the deal because what is the guy going to do about it..that's just wrong to do that to get someone to do favors for you because you're too lazy to do them yourself! Plus if women went around doing that around town they'd be called names and known for what they do.
So I found this book very vulgar and very nasty especially with the details it went into, and the women to be very snobbish as if no one could compete with them because they are goddesses in their own right, and no one could ever be what they are.
Do not let your teenagers read this book.

It was okay. I have a good sense of humor, but this book really didn't work for me.

For those of you who like the Ya Ya Sisterhood novels- this is another fun read. Get a cup of coffee and get ready to have fun.

Light-hearted take on growing old crazily. These gals have a lot more fun than those red hat people!
This book was recommended to me by a friend who thought it was hilarious. I did find a few parts of it funny, but was disappointed in it overall.

Lara T. (I just couldn't get into this book. The humor just wasn't there for me and I found the women to be kind of snobby and rude.
This first book was fun and made me think about being a little more whimsical in my life...
