Price of the book <$20 The Laughter = Priceless

Great gift. I bought two copies, one for my mom and one for my aunt (Mom's sister). They enjoyed the read and there was a lot of nodding and laughing from what I hear.

It made such a great gift I've ordered one more extra one --- for my best friend who has a "landmark" birthday coming soon.

Thanks for the laughs Phyllis. Life is so serious --- laughter is a priceless gift.



HOT and Bothered By It

I absolutely loved this book! My friends and I are experiencing this lovely phenomenon--either through our own direct experiences or with a loved one in our lives. You will be in stitches, and you'll relate! ~Very clever, so much fun!

HOT AND BOTHERED BY IT

As a male poet I found the poems to be telling -- particularly as I have a midlife wife. I'm midlife too so I found material for me as well. A great book to start a group discussion.






Not Much to It

HOT and Bothered By It does have its moments. But the poems don't have much substance. While I understand this book is meant solely for humor, the writing is paper-thin and the few smiles it provides are not worth paying for. Often, the humor just falls flat.

The writing is amateurish and just high school literary magazine worthy. Being a rhyme Nazi, when I read rhyme, I must see it done well or not at all; in "Senior Discount", the rhyme falters and is very noticeable. The author can't decide whether she wants to rhyme or not in "Hopscotch and Double Dutch". "Like the Essence of a Fine Wine" is out of place in collection of humor poems, and the author goes out of her way to walk the reader through the metaphor of flowers and women. "Pucker Up" is difficult to read; any established meter is trampled on by the end of the poem. A few of the poems end awkwardly.

If you want a quick diversion, there are better poetry books, but Ms. Johnson does give a few good dashes of humor. If you are considering buying, HOT and Bothered By It is good for a long Sunday morning. Please, just buy it at bargain bin discount.

Do you suffer from Oreoporosis? Is there an instant Mess-age at your house when you go away? Is a period just punctuation found in your romance novels while you fan yourself? If you can relate to any of these circumstances, you may be going through a midlife chrysalis. If you find yourself with a group of women playing such games as the "Millionaire Purse Game," wearing red and purple together and eating chocolate until you pass out, then this book is for you. HOT AND BOTHERED BY IT contains fifty poems celebrating the midlife experience for women. This book is the perfect companion for entertaining you and your friends at your next night out. This book is also GREAT for your reading group!
