Amazon.com Review
In her snappy compendium Wild Women, Autumn Stephens showed what a good punchy quote can do to enliven a dull day. Whether you're looking for ammunition to aim between a rival's ears or just fishing for pithy phrases to amuse yourself, her collection Loose Cannons should supply you with several statements you wouldn't mind tattooing on a prominent spot. Questioning whether endless dieting is really the route to self-esteem? "You're not fat, you're in the wrong country," plus-size model Denise Walker says flatly. Looking for the brighter side of a romance gone south? "It's like magic," marvels humorist Merrill Markoe. "When you live by yourself, all your annoying habits are gone." Wondering what happened to your ship? "I rang for ice, but this is ridiculous," a Titanic survivor is reputed to have said in a quote that is surely apocryphal. Annoyingly arch references to the women quoted take away some of the fun, but the book is a hoot overall.
