Great Sucess Story

You will laugh out loud.What a kick Paula is I really liked her. Paula showed if you want something you got to work for it. I loved it.

touching....

I think this was a touching and honest account of her life. It is very interesting to know more that just the side you see on TV. She is a funny and amazing woman. I thoroughly enjoyed listening, laughing and crying through the book with her.

Paula Deen is a real person after all.

Where does Paula Deen rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I loved the open honesty she brings to her book. I also appreciate her ability to no man-bash the father of her children. So many women who later become successful do this but Paula talks about the father of her children with the best of honesty.

The book gave me appreciation to get started and take hold of your live. No matter what stage of the game you are in.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

several parts made me laugh and yes a few tears were shed.

Any additional comments?

I liked the book. If you know southern culture or would like to learn a little about it. This is a good book.

Here's Paula!

I liked this book and am especially I got it in audio format. Paula's distinctive Southern accent is a vital part of her personality, and it just doesn't come across on the page as it does for real here.

The book flags rather badly in its last quarter, after the success of The Lady and Sons (her restaurant) and her TV shows. She just runs out of material to write/talk about. But until then the book is very entertaining--I laughed out loud many times.

You'll learn a lot about Paula Deen you didn't expect. I never thought about Paula having a sex life, for example . . . (She does!)

Anyway, I recommend it to lovers of her show.

Loved it ! Cried while in the vanpool!

This was a great book, I wish I had listened to the unabridged version!
