This was a very light, funny and entertaining book. It was just what I needed after some of the books I had been readding. I recommend this for anyone that just needs to laugh a little bit! It was laugh out loud funny throughout the book. ( )

Notaro's brand of madcap humor may work better in essays than for a full length novel. But if read in the right mood, this book is quite entertaining. I think if I hadn't read her essays previously, and expected so much, I might have rated it higher. ( )

The title is very funny, the book not so much. It does have it's moments but was not laugh out loud funny for me. Maye moves to a small town named Spaulding which is known for making sewer pipes. She has moved there because her husband has been offered a job at the local college. Maye finds it hard to make new friends there and goes to great lengths to obtaining them. She joins a book club which is not quite what she thinks when it comes to Gothic novels. Goes on a friend date to have her friend get drunk and belligerent in the restaurant and even follows people in the grocery store to see if they like the same foods. But it seems that her friend search may be over when she learns of the town's local beauty pageant. ( )

Not as funny as her essays and the story was a bit strange. But still enjoyable. ( )

I had read so many reviews about how this was the funniest writer on earth. Well, I wasn't that impressed. There were amusing segments, but I never laughed out loud. And the book was boring until Ruby Spicer came into the story. But even after that it really didn't go anywhere.
Two stars for Mickey, the piano playing, singing pimp dog. ( )
