Reseñas de la Crítica

“Rivenbark's latest outing is a fantastic book that will keep you laughing at the minutiae of the world outside while giving you time to reflect on your own life.” —Book Reporter

“...one of those books that makes you laugh out loud and possibly even snort soda through your nose!” —Booking Mama

Great, but unoriginal

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Nothing to spoil, it's not a normal story, each chapter is it's on standalone story; it was as though she wrote a newspaper column for each chapter.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I noticed other people complained about her pace, but I didn't take any issue with that really; she could have paced a little better with the punch lines I guess. What bothered me was that it sounded to me like she had a speech impediment of some kind that started to wear on me.

Was You Can't Drink All Day If You Don't Start in the Morning worth the listening time?

Sure, but at this point, 2015, a lot of her stuff is a little dated, so if I had to do it all over again, I probably wouldn't have.

Very good, light hearted fun!

If you like southern sarcasm, here you go. I would LOVE to have lunch with Celia, she says what we all wish we'd thought of!

So good!

Like an old friend telling you about her day. It's Southern humor at its best, I listen to it at night. It reminds me of home.

The author kept me laughing

The author kept me laughing and brought back many fond memories. Like how cool were we smoking those kickass candy cigs!

Will Read her others myself!

Enjoyed the book with her witty sarcasm and outlook on everyday happenings, but the author is not the best reader. I got used to it but she doesn't do a lot of inflection and it's more just reading. I enjoyed the book and will read the others she wrote. I bought a different one for each of my 3 best friends and we will exchange them and have loads of laughs!
