this is a great start of a great set of book jill has i think 11 plus books get them all you will laugh and cry and run out and what your self your very own queen. the hard part about listen to these book you with want to buy there in writing as well so that you can take note

the whole book is great just get it

see above

read it and you well learn it too

The narration was fantastic, but I never found a story in it. I kept listening and waiting to get to the story... but it never came. It's possible I misunderstood what the book was about, but it was more like a southern guidebook than a novel. I can't recommend it for a first time with the Sweet Potato Queen's.

unless you are around 40 or more i don't think you'd really enjoy this book. I told my mom to read it.

however, I found the narrative boring, it totally ruined the book for me. I found myself zoning out when I was listening to Jill's voice, she didn't have any character at all. The comedy is definitely there, it is the monotone that left me cold. Please, Jill, next time, leave it to a professional.

Great book, poor narration. As others have noted, the author's self-narration is monotone and often difficult to hear. Knowing and loving the hard copy book & others by this author, I was very surprised by her lackluster delivery.

The book, however, is absolutely wonderful, both touching and hilarious. Highly recommended in hard-copy book form

Triumphant, thrilling, gut spliting laughter and heart. Read all books by this sequined goddess

Hilarious as usual! Loved that the author was the one reading! Great for all the girlfriends in your life!

This is one of the best "reads" in the humor division I have heard. Jill's reading of her own work lends another dimension to the humor.
Well written in a conversational style that would make Shakespeare proud, Jill has captured the humor of everday happenings.
This is a gotta' have book.

Worth the listen for the recipes alone.

i laughed so hard i cried. you don't have to be raised a southern belle to appreciate the humor and life lessons of these women. i actually purchased 3 copies of the book and gave them as gifts.
