First Sentence
For anyone even remotely familiar with Jackson, Mississippi, the name "Sweet Potato Queens" instantly evokes sweet memories of beautiful, somewhat augmented female forms enveloped in green sequins, towering red hairdos, provocative dances, and the haunting refrain of "Tiny Bubbles," as only Don Ho could-or would, for that matter-deliver it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big girls, big hair, big laughs, 14 Jan 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love (Paperback)

What a great book! From the outset, it is blissfully easy to picture the 'Queens' making whoopee at Hal & Mal's, Fat Mama's Knock you Naked Margarita in hand, saying yah-boo-sucks to the world in general. Completely irrerverent, laugh out loud funny, it also shows it's soft side in the last chapter which is very touching. Jill C-B's style is bitingly funny, frighteningly accurate and one of the biggest romps I have read in a LONG time! Once UK readers get wind of this, prepare for a bestseller to beat all others in 2002! Yo' mama would NOT approve.

5.0 out of 5 stars Screamingly funny!!!, 2 Sep 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sweet Potato Queens (Paperback)

I notice that those who hate this book also happen to need to go back to first grade and learn to spell. Hmm, is there a correlation??

This book makes me laugh just thinking about it! The section on writing your own obituary is classic -- no banana clips will be in MY obit!

Buy this book today and ignore the spelling bee losers.

1.0 out of 5 stars What's that smell? Rotten Potatoes, 2 Sep 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sweet Potato Queens (Paperback)

I am a native of Jackson, Mississippi, and have always loved the St. Paddy's day parade, but have never noticed the Queens before. When I saw this book, I thought I must buy it. It LOOKED witty and amusing. Unfortunately, it was self-inflated ego trash. This book is not anything more than a pitiful excuse for humor. Your time is better spent cleaning the lint out of your dryer, which incidently, is more fun than reading this book.

What a dissappointment this book was! Did some editor just hand over the ya ya books and say:try to write like this" ? The humor is contrived and the story never takes off.
