Customer Reviews

A hilariously truthful book... you'll fall off your chair laughing!

I received this book from the wife of a client. He gave this to me just before we had dinner at my house. We were in the midst of a serious business discussion when I started flipping through the book and chanced on "The Thigh Retainer", "the Buttock Fluffer Upper", the "Mammary Sling" and the "Abs Inducer". I was rolling on the floor laughing. I showed the book to my client and he laughed... it was the beginning of a really great dinner, full of laughter, very relaxed and very productive! A WONDERFUL gift to a great friend- am giving this to all my gang for christmas!

Hilarious fun!

I'll be brief. This was a Valentine's Day gift for friend who turned 50 this past fall. The book is fall down funny. (Parts are more than a little risque, however, so don't let the youngsters get to it first.)

A Perfect Gift

This book is by far the best gift I have ever received! From the second I opened it and began reading the introduction, I started laughing out loud and never stopped. Ever since, it holds "La place d'honeur" on my coffee table and every woman (and man too) who sits down and picks it up, starts laughing and says.."Listen to this" and reads a paragraph out loud and inevitably gathers a laughing crowd around her/him. Marilyn Miller's style of comedic writng is so unique, high end, literate and at the same time easy and fun-to-read. Makes you wonder: Where has this author been all my life? It is a kind of semi- coffee table book that is rich in hilarious text as well as photos. I savored every word just as happily, curled up in my big "reading" chair laughing out loud alone, as well as when I was sitting in the living room and it passed the big test by reading it out loud to my husband while he was watching football and he clicked "mute" on the remote and listened and belly laughed right along with me. I can't wait to read Ms. Miller's next Middle-Aged Babe book.
