review 1: I grabbed this book in a moment of notalgia for the good time little stories by author Laurie Notaro. Unfortunately this left little to laugh at until the last 17%. Some of the humor seemed spread a little thin and I got the impression that Estill could have used another persons read (and a few edits for random spelling errors) to round out some of the stories that would be otherwise interesting. This is not to say I do not like the author's style and voice, I would definitely read another one of her books and find her sense of humor refreshing, this novel just had a thrown together feel and tends to repeat itself often.
review 2: Some compare her to Erma Bombeck. While amusing, I didn't make that connection. I found her experiences hard to relate to, probably ... morebecause I come from a younger generation (though I find Erma Bombeck highly entertaining and she is from an even older generation).Anyways, if you have some time to kill and want a light read about the nuances of life, you might want to give this book a go. It's kind of like watching a sitcom with a laugh track. Sure there are funny moments, but definitely not as funny as watching a true comedian. Besides, there are many blogs about day-to-day life that are much funnier to read... less
