4.0 out of 5 stars Funny Stuff - Made me feel better!, August 5, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Mother-in-law Hell: Real Stories about Real Mothers-in-law. (Paperback)

This book was great for my purpose. My mother-in-law really bugs me and it was fun to hear some horror stories from other people. (Actually made my MIL seem a little less awful.) My only complaint was that it was such a short read. I finished the whole book in about 2 hours and I am NOT a quick reader. Some of the anecdotes are very short (ie- 2 sentences) and consume a whole page. I would have liked more for my money, but hey, it was fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book every daughter-in-law should have!!, May 7, 2001

This review is from: Mother-in-law Hell: Real Stories about Real Mothers-in-law. (Paperback)

I am a daughter-in-law who has spent years biting my tongue and walking on eggshells around my mother-in-law. For many years, I thought this was a problem only my mother-in-law and I had. Then I bought this book, and my world turned around! It made me laugh because of the outrageous things that mothers-in-law have said and done to their daughters-in-law, it made me sigh because I could relate to so many of the stories,I got some really good advice on how to react in certain situations, but most of all, it gave me comfort. I am not the only one going through this.

I recommend this book to all of the daughters-in-law out there.Whether you are a soon-to-be daughter-in-law, fellow daughter-in-law, or ex-daughter-in-law, you will truly enjoy this book.
