Customer Reviews

A Fun Summer Read!

Just the book to have when you want a few stolen moments of pleasure. Clearly not all of the travel writers would have termed their adventures fun at the time, but their stories are certainly entertaining for their readers. Of course I'll never see pigs in quite the same light, and I guarantee you I'll never get caught dueling with dogs in the altogether!

The Thong Also Rises

We've all had at least one of those vacations that didn't turn out as expected. We've all been confronted by unhygienic bathroom situations when we really had to go. We've all likely done or said something so embarrassing while on vacation that we swore to ourselves that we swear we will never tell anyone as long as we live, only to later find ourselves recounting the tale to anyone that will listen. The Thong Also Rises: Further Misadventures from Funny Women on the Road! is a hilarious compilation of stories about such vacations that didn't quite turn out as expected. The authors of these accounts share their own stories of events that were just too juicy, hilarious, and utterly embarrassing to keep to themselves. I have to admit I felt much better about my own vacation misadventures once I read about Ellen Sussman's experiences on the nude beach, Deanna Sukkar's little custom's problem, and Ann Lombardi's ironing difficulties.

An absolute essential addition to your collection

From the very moment you open this book, you will become immersed in the hilarious, often cringe-inducing antics of women on the road. These brave souls bare all (literally, in some cases) as they face challenges and difficulties with spirit, courage, and a good measure of chutzpah. Every woman should own a copy of this book - absolutely brilliant.

This will definitely tickle your travel itch

The stories in this book are told in a manner such that you feel like you've lived the experiences. And they will most definitely make you want to book your next ticket asap! All in all, a very funny and entertaining read. I definitely plan to purchase a few copies for Christmas for the females in my life.

Totally wacky and tons of fun

We distribute a ton of books and this one is a hoot. The cover is very funny--totally off the wall. Great buy for friends and family
