5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh 'til the tears flow, June 30, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Humor Me (Hardcover)

Quick simply, Johnson has again provided a book that is both true to life and very funny. Her ability to remind us of the humorous side of life, even when life might be hurting, too, is a gift to be treasured. When I first picked up this book to skim it - borrowed from a friend - I laughed so much I had to stop reading because I was crying with laughter, unable to see and with an aching side. I tried to stay away from it, but had to continue reading - and thit all happened again. And again. Get it, read it, enjoy it, and share this gift of laughter with your friends!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good laugh from a small book, March 19, 2007

This review is from: Humor Me, I'm Your Mother (Hardcover)

I enjoyed reading this book...you'll definitely laugh. She's got a way of making you see how you CAN laugh at everyday life, even when you're in the thick of it.

But I was surprised by the size of the book when I received it. (They give the dimensions on Amazon, but I've never looked at them...I will now!) :-) This book is a little bigger than 4x6 and is less than half an inch thick. You could read it cover to cover in a half hour. So, it seems a bit overpriced to me.

It's a good read, but in retrospect, I wouldn't purchase it again.

This should have been two books instead of one. That would have been hard considering the book is so small. At the beginning I loved the book and could identify with many issues. It was nice to look back and laugh. She started it as a funny book about being pregnant and raising children. She should have stopped the book there. I had planned to give it to my daughter who is pregnant now. But then the author went into some very sad situations concerning what happened to her children when they were grown. She could have written a book about how she handled those situations but they did not belong in this book. I will not be passing this book along to my daughter.
