Customer Reviews

Love, love, love, love this book!

It's been a long time since a book has made me break out into all out laughter. If not the photo on the front of the book, the words themselves will have you rolling on the floor laughing. If you're a cat person, you'll definitely enjoy the stories about "Babycakes" like I did. This is something everyone can identify with for sure!

What a hoot!

I've had this book for less than 24 hours and have read it laughing out loud, with tears in my eyes, and soaking it up like rich conversation with a dear old friend. I even read one story over the phone to my mother, another to my girlfriend, and still another to one of my sisters. Reading Peck's book left me wondering if she's been looking over my shoulder in my own life!? It'll be the give-away book of the year from me to my bestest of friends!

Delightful reading

What a wonderful book! And...it's about time. Ms Peck has such a unique and delightful way of looking at life. It's a great read from beginning to end. The only thing better than reading Ms Peck's words is hearing her read them in person. I look forward to reading many more books by this author.

Delightful!

Wonderful insight, great stories, funny & thought provoking!

This is a wonderfull read

This collection contains many very funny stories and a few that are quite moving...The final entry is a poem "Starbright"..It cannot be read wihout tears...One hopes that Ms. Peck has many more books in her.
