Amazing reread

Good light reading!! Irma bomb back to always brings back an awesome tail! Great, till they relive memories in another chapter of my life

Gone too soon

Erma Bombeck's books were a staple when I was growing up I used to read her columns every tim they came out. And I laughed at them......knowing I was not the only kid doing that stuff. LOL. She also puts in a few life lessons for all of us.....but doesn't beat us over the head with them.

Love you Erma, miss you......

Absolutely loved it!

Barbara reads it like a champ and Erma wrote it like, well, I’m speechless. I hope her family is thriving.

Better than the other one

More positive this time not as much negative information, more soul-searching, and genuinely funny and humorous stuff.

Funniest book ever

I read this on German when I was 17. I found it funny and still do. It highlighted for me at the time the misegenistic life of women .

Isn't that outdated. It's still funny stuff

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If they wanted to be amused, and especially if they were a parent, they'll like this.

Have you listened to any of Barbara Rosenblat’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I haven't. She astounded me with her delivery. She could turn even a dull sentence into something witty, so this material was really quite funny with her at the microphone.

Any additional comments?

Bombeck's humor still holds up, though not quite as sharply as it did when it was originally written. You'll still get many chuckles out of this.

Erma's the best!

her books are just laugh out loud funny. I enjoy every book I can find by her, what a humorist . I highly recommend any of her books.

Remember when

I laughed a little looking back at when I read the booking the '70s ahhh

Makes you see the funny side of life.

If you could sum up If Life Is A Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing In The Pits? in three words, what would they be?

A great listen for a pick me up. Makes you laugh. Reminds me of my life.

I laughed out loud

I enjoy Bombeck's humorous look at everyday life. I laughed, wearing my earbuds while my husband watched a car race. While technologies change, interactions between parent and child, husband and wife are timeless. Loved the bit about the organizer purse -- I received one as a gift.
