review 1: My Kindle battery died so I haven't finished this yet but I already know, about 60% through, that the rest is going to be just as boring. She's trying way too hard to be funny so I'm just shaking my head, thinking, "oh, honey..." Reading this so-called collection was like being at a dinner party where you're talking to someone you really don't want to talk to and you're just looking for a way to exit the situation. I can honestly say this is the only time I've ever been happy that my Kindle battery died.
review 2: Mean Southern girl humor is just not my thing. I don't like it from Rita Mae Brown, and now it seems I don't like it from Celia Rivenbark either. The first essay starts with a guy complaining that his car navigation system doesn't understand his south... moreern accent so keeps giving him the wrong information - that's pretty funny. Then she segues into a long discussion of a woman who gets into an car accident because she tried to multitask shaving her pubic hair while she was driving to a date. In this story she never repeats the same nickname for vagina twice: vajayjay, cooch, nasties, whoha; I can't remember them all, but she never used my favorite, cookie. This was pretty funny until she said that the woman was so ugly that whoever her date was was never going to get as far as looking at her nether regions anyway. Was that necessary? Would it in any way have made a difference to the story? Nope, it was just a little throw away mean spiritedness. I don't need that kind of nonsense. less
