...I think I may have soiled myself.  Ahhh a sweet little ditty that is F'ed Companies. Delicious and macabre, a jaunty ride down the bumpy road that was the glorious "Second Gold Rush".  How so much talent and psychic ability can be housed within the physical confines of one strange man is simply incomprehensible to those with even above-average intelligence.  This book in hindsight was a true harbinger of things to come, though since it was released after the fact, I suppose that statement cancels itself out and my point is moot.  But the book! Oh, the book - sheer delight on every page, and I promise you, your home library is lack without Mr. Kaplan's irreverant, insider's perspective on the debauchery, the deception, the greed, the mayhem that was the Dot Com era.  This reviewer waits anxiously for more from Mr. Kaplan and looks forward to the next train wreck he can bring to life, so eloquently, so quiescently, so deliriously!  One hopes he will next tackle the election scams, or perhaps Enron, or maybe even the rise and fall of....something.  Mrs. Fromaggerier gives it an enthusiastic digit UP!  And so should you. Run, don't walk, to wherever Mr. Kaplan is signing his epic tale, coming soon to a bookseller near you.

For me, Pollyanna is a great book. I laughed, I cried, and I'm glad I read it.

Wow. I wasn't prepared for this book and the emotions it invoked. I laughed, cried (the snotty, blubbering kind), and rooted for these characters. The book is worth purchasing. I've already bought the next one.  Enjoy!!

I laughed and I cried. I analyzed my relationship with my mom. I thought about life and death and everything in between. I loved that the author and I both shared a love of reading. I will recommend it to my friends and will read it again. Thanks Cheryl Strayed.

I picked this book up on a whim - something about the cover jumped out at me. What a delight. I truly laughed out loud, cried, was walloped and inspired. So amazing.

I laughed so hard, I cried.  I was unable to read this on the airplane for fear of getting the giggles

Once I picked it up, I was unable to put it down until I was finished (and I was disappointed that it was all over!).  At one point while reading I was laughing so hard (and quietly because it was late) I had tears rolling down my face.  Highly recommend to anyone looking for a light read, quick wit or a great giggle/laugh fest.  Author Rick Bylina did a fantastic job of storytelling and I will look for more from him.

I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book from Reading Deals so I could give an honest review.

I snort-laughed. My husband thought there was something wrong with me. I got a copy of this book in advance because I personally know many of the contributors, and yes, that makes me feel special. Any mom who needs a good laugh should buy this book!

I was laughing then crying, then laughing again. If it were not for all the repeat words of the auto-reader I would not have found a single problem with this book. I will be checking out her other books.

It has been a long time since a book has made me feel so much. I laughed and I cried and I loved every bit of it. Absolutely wonderful.

I just finished reading "Changing Lanes," and I realized that I absolutely had to share the experience. A couple of chapters in I literally had to stop reading because I was laughing so hard. A few chapters later I was sobbing into my t-shirt because I couldn't stop to get tissue! Evocative writing, characters you wish were part of your life (with one notable exception), and a real-world HEA.Laney is a pediatric oncologist, so anyone with related triggers may unfortunately have to pass on this gem. I didn't even know this was THIRD in a series; "Changing Lanes" obviously passes the stand-alone test. I'm recommending this for my book club.

I can't accurately describe how was like to read this book. I laughed, I cried, I saw myself in every word, cartoon and joke. Just brilliant, and thank you for showing me that I'm not alone....

It made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me think.
From the moment I started reading it I could barely set it down.

Marcia Kester Doyle knows how to make people laugh AND cry. She is a master at baring her imperfections, her insecurities and her pain in such a way that the reader knows they aren't alone in life's challenges. Marcia's writing is not only expert, but hilarious, too.

I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of "Who Stole My Spandex?" I'm so happy I did. It came to me at a time when I am dealing with getting "older" - I'm no longer a chirpy twenty-something, but an optimistic 44 year old who is afraid about what the next decade holds for my femininity, my fertility and my family. Because of Marcia, I realize that whatever happens, I am going to be OK --as long as I remember not to take myself (or life) so seriously.

If you want a laugh-out-loud and relatable read, buy this book now!

I'm on page 172...I have been laughing since page 3, laughing hysterically everywhere!  I can't even believe I've stopped reading to write this but I had to tell you all to get this one.  Hardback - its a keeper and I'm cheap.  I'll just say that I'm not the kind of person who laughs out loud at t.v. or movies, most people or jokes...I laugh mostly at things I think of or sometimes a great line from Niles in "Frasier."  But this one has me laughing OUT LOUD - EVERYWHERE!  I know I loved the Shopaholics (especially the first) but don't really remember them, so I can easily say this one is hands down one of the funniest books I've read.  Sure you know the ending (I think - I don't really care), but its just a good time.  And I'm a stickler about endings - I like mysteries and sad endings in romance novels, but I don't even care what happens in the end - so long as it stays this funny.  FABULOUS READ!  I'll be up all night to finish it and wish it wasn't over.  By the way, another one I laughed out loud and actually shared with friend is "Diary of a Mad Mother To Be" (after I read the Mad Bride, which is funny too) - and I'm NOT A MOTHER!

It was amazing! It made me laugh so hard. I think I might have cried! I think this book is the best of them all.
