"This book is a true autobiography of Laurie Notaro. Actually, to call it an autobiography would be unfair. It's more like a series of based-on-real-life-events stories.
Laurie is an odd woman, one I can identify with. She is funny and smart in her recollections of family and household antics.
I found the book similar to Candy and Me due to the efforts the author takes to distance herself from her readers and the one-story-at-a-time approach to writing. During the entire book, I'm not sure we ever learn Laurie's husband's name. That fact alone disturbed me. Why is it omitted?
There's no plot going on with the book at all. Each chapter can be read independently of each other. Again, while that's not a bad thing, it just made the book a choppy read for me.
For some reason I was under the impression that this book would be an actual tale of a fat bride. Maybe the struggles a fat bride has to go through to get her wedding pulled off. In fact, it's the story of a slightly overweight woman. Maybe two or three chapters are spent discussing the wedding. Guess I should have read the cover better."
"I enjoyed this book. Alot of the stories made me think of my sister, who has the same sarcastic sense of humor and no kids. So I know she can relate. I relate because I'm the married one and think like her in some of her situations. I told my husband if he wanted to know how a woman thinks, then he needs to read this book. :) I really loved the story about her grandfather dancing with her, Jingle Hells, and the last story of the book!"
"This book was funny but got to be a little much and the sources of humor were a little repetitive. I had mixed feelings about the author/narrator through the book and went through waves of liking and disliking her. Good, light read with some dirty humor."
"I like Notaro's style in finding the absurd in everyday life. I felt myself wanting her accounts to go on just a little longer. The good thing about the short and sweet chapters is that is makes for a very easy read to digest a few before bedtime or slip in a quickie over breakfast. I love the way she portrays her marriage and I have to wonder if her husband finds her perspective as funny as I do."
