Hilarious!

I began reading this book for an english class at about 3 in the morning and after reading only a few pages I just could not put it down. There were times where I was laughing so hard I had to cover my mouth because I didn't want to wake-up my roomates. Plummer is an amazing writer, her essay's are inspiring, and original. This is a book that I have been recommending to all of my friends. If you like clean humor and wit then this book is for you.

One of the best FUN books i have read

This was one of the best books on life's little experiences that i have ever read. I really couldn't stop reading the funny and sometimes embarrassing momments of Louis Plummer. She is such a gifted writer. I went out and bought 5 more copies to give as gifts. Louis Plummer makes life come alive and makes everyone to record their little life experiences and by doing so realize the joy we all share in life. I loved it what more can i say.
