review 1: Oh my goodness, let me tell you first. I have never read a memoir before this book, so when it arrived on my doorsteps I did not know how I was going to enjoy it.I was so glad I dove right into it, because I felt it was worth every page.Robin is a mother of three girls, and Ketchup Is a Vegetable is her memoir, story compilation on parenthood. Especially what it means being a mother to her. I think I enjoy and loved every single second of this book since the very first chapter.Robin tells it like it is and she doesn't sugar coat things. Her stories are told with humor and a lot of heart underlining her experience as a mother to three very precious little girls.After I was done reading this I immediately contacted my sister who is a mother to a little girl as well and told ... moreher this was a book she just had to read. We discussed some of the stories in this one and giggled the entire way as she nodded her head and "yupped" to most of the chapters.Funny, entertaining, and light-hearted. I really enjoy Robin's humor as well as her writing and I applaud her for writing it all down and allowing us readers to experience her experience through words. I feel like most if not almost all of the stories in the book itself is something most of the mothers can relate too. Either have thought about it, or actually experienced it themselves. If not, perhaps this helps shed some light on some situations that we cannot relate and make us thinks about what's really happening behind the scenes.I am looking forward to more of Robin's wonderful and sweet writing.I know the last chapter was said to be very different from the rest of the book and in a way it is. It's much more deeper and personal and I like how it does tie everything together so well.Amazing read that I recommend to all the parents out there. I got a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange of an honest review.
review 2: I should preface my review with the fact that I do not have children! But I wanted to read this book because I find all these stories hilarious, and they actually sway me from having baby fever! I enjoyed her endless stories on raising three little girls, and found the quite funny. I think this is a good book for anyone looking for a light, easy read. And if you don't have babies, don't be scared, it's still pretty entertaining. less
