I laughed until I cried, reading this book. I made my b/f listen to some of the chapters as well. Very funny!

This autobiography gives us an inside look at a woman searching for her own destiny. She struggles in transition from the party girl who then gets married, and then finds that life is really full of challenges! A funny read.

Seriously, how can one woman be SO funny? I was mostly reading this on the train to and from work and had to try hard not to laugh too loudly. She had me cracking up left and right, almost to the point of tears! Hilariouis.

A lot of self-deprecating humor in this one, which is pretty funny at times, but pathetic at others.

Very amusing. I read it one night and laughed out loud through most of it.

This author is beginning to irritate me, I don't know why, maybe it's that I read two of her books back to back. I do know I don't care much for her sense of humor.

I actually enjoyed this one more than the first - I actually laughed so hard I cried a few times. All in all, I really enjoyed it. She's still not quite at the Sedaris level, but I'll keep an eye out for her books and we'll see where she goes from there.
The toothbrush chapter was definitely the best, though there were some other great parts as well.
