Book Reviews of God Save the Sweet Potato Queens
Book Review: This Book Has The Vatican Talking...Buy Now Before The Ban!
Summary: 5 Stars
Only Jill Conner Browne and her Royal Court of Tammy's could inspire the world with simple prose and potent "Promise"! This is a smile every page kind of book, that had me laughing till my jaw hurt. It is the sort of book you will want to buy and share with your friends and maybe even an enemy or two. (It can only help either way!) I bought copies for all the clergy I know and asked them to use a few of Jill's powerful stories to brighten up those Sunday Morning sermons that are real "sleepers" of another sort. Problem is, more than one preacher selected the wrong stories to share from their pulpit and now assorted clergy and prelates across the USA are talking about adding GOD SAVE THE SWEET POTATO QUEENS to the "INDEX". So don't delay...BUY YOUR COPY TODAY before it is banned in Boston. I have even heard that copies are being sent to the Vatican for immediate translation and review...God Save The Sweet Potato Queens and God save us all from Sad Saints! Be sure to read the chapter on "Death-Defying Recipes" that will make any soul sing! Death Corn Five is a must try at that next after-funeral gathering. Even if you don't like the corn (and you will) just think of how much fun it will be to tell others about where you found the recipe. Sure to brighten up even the most somber funeral gathering. This is a book you won't want to miss and a fitting follow-up to her first work: "The Sweet Potato Queens Book of Love". Guys, this book will help you understand chicks better than any other you've ever read...and it is short with easy words too! Thanks Jill and Vivat Regina!
Summary of God Save the Sweet Potato Queens
Hallelujah! The Sweet Potato Queens are back!In 1999, Jill Conner Browne, royal boss of Jackson, Mississippi's own glorious Sweet Potato Queens, introduced them to the world in the hilarious bestseller The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love (which contained everything you ever need to know about Love, Life, Men, Marriage, and the importance of Being Prepared). But, fortunately for us, that was not the final chapter in the Queens' splendid saga. The Sweet Potato Queens still have plenty of stuff to say and valuable wisdom to impart about how they went from being Cute Girls to Fabulous Women, including:
Dating for the Advanced, or Advancing
The Joys of Marriage -- if you must
More Delicious, Death-Defying Recipes
The Promise for Men -- six little words that will make any woman Lolling About -- the official activity of the Sweet Potato Queens
And, of course,
The All-True Story of the Two Most Wonderful Men in the World
Not to mention:
Reader Mail -- honoring the adventures of brand-new Wannabes and Honorary Queens from around the world
If you haven't met the Sweet Potato Queens yet, this is the introduction you've been waiting for. If you already know the joys of Queendom, this is your official welcome-back party.
Fans of Jill Conner Browne's hilarious advice and queenly assurance should mix up a margarita and prepare to enjoy themselves with her book God Save the Sweet Potato Queens. Whether you're still a Cute Girl or have made it to the glorified ranks of Fabulous Woman, the allure of big hair, utter confidence, and a sparkly tiara is easily understandable. Forget "less is more"--as Jill and all the Tammys can tell you, "more is more, and also better." As a follow-up to The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love, this gem touches on many of the same topics--marriage, motherhood, fiancés, the Promise, and all-important attitude and style. Added are a ton of side-splitting stories from fans around the country, who are apparently busy starting up their own royal families with names like the "Menopause Mafia" and "Brazen Strumpets"; one startling tale of a mom at the end of her rope who bursts into "Jeremiah was a bullfrog" in public as a last-ditch effort to get her kids to behave wins Conner Browne's award for mother of the year. The chapter titled "How to Be a Girl" is one of the greatest instruction manuals ever for turning men into putty--the big secret, it seems, is a large bow in your hair. Who knew? One big surprise at the end of this book is hiding under the title "Matters of the Heart." Here you'll read a touching homage to a much-beloved friend of the author, and it will have you running for the nearest hanky. If you find yourself in need of a little pick-me-up after this sad tale, turn to the recipe section, where Twinkie Pie, Dinksey's Gooey Bars, and Death Chicken are guaranteed to cheer you right up. --Jill Lightner
