Amy is so bad at keeping house that she can't boil water without it sticking the bottom of the pan. So when the bishop calls her to be homemaking counselor, she knows that it's either a joke- or inspiration. Welcome to the Paradise Vue Ward, with stained glass windows so blindingly bright, the congregation has to wear shades. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll keep wondering how the author found out about all the wackiest people in your ward. Surely the funniest Mormon novel ever published. By the end you may discover it's also the best.

I laughed till I fell on the floor!,
By CMBohn "cmb" (Orem, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Paradise vue (Paperback)
This is my favorite of all Mormon humor books. The Paradise View ward could be any ward of the church, but especially one here in Utah. The funeral scene is about the funniest thing I've ever read. It's reassuring to know that we all feel inadequate in our callings, feel lonely at home sometimes, and that every smiling face in church on Sunday masks a lot of problems inside. But if we can laugh about it, we're ahead of the game. Every Mother's Day I remember the brother who decided to give all the moms frozen TV dinner instead of flowers. Didn't work.If you think Mormons don't have a sense of humor, you need to check this book out. Best of her books so far.

DID KIDD VISIT MY WARD TO WRITE THIS BOOK?,
By "lowell_peterson" (New Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Paradise vue (Paperback)
This is such a great novel about the inner workings of a LDS ward that I thought she must be talking about my own ward. I read this book for an assignment in college and have read it several times since. Easy to read, funny, and yet Kidd brings home a great insight into Mormon culture, that, only until recently, has been shaded and guarded. Kidd is a great LDS author.
