  <default_description>It's the expose to end all exposes--the truth about the suburbs: where they planted trees and crabgrass came up, where they planted the schools and taxes came up, where they died of old age trying to merge onto the freeway and where they finally got sex out of the schools and back into the gutters.</default_description>

Her wit is timeless.<br/>She takes a stab a middle class America, its values, habits and foibles. She looks at the innate desire to move out, move up, and m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29593632">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is proof that humor is not timeless. While Ms. Bombeck probably had a fabulously funny book in 1976, in 2009 it doesn't stand up.I do imagine that had one lived during that time (and was conscious enough to remember it), one would find the text quite intriguing and perhaps quite hilarious....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65768100">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I hadn't read any Erma Bombeck in about a decade, so I thought I should check in. Fortunately I found her to still be the mother of wit. Like her own children, she only shares humor because of the grief it causes her. Her style is always dry and somehow never too self-indulgent even if she is her ow...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4311824">more...</a>]]></body>

She was like a neighbor with a great sense of humor.  She added humor and fun to the day.<br/><br/>Yeah for the Mulvane Public Library.

    <body><![CDATA[This book is an excellent study in humour writing through exaggeration.

    <body><![CDATA[Simply because I will read anything when it's lying around, I read all of Erma Bombeck's books when I was 11 because they were at my grandmother's house. I still thought she was funny although I am sure I didn't understand anything she was writing about.<br/><br/>I'd re-read her now that I'm more ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26836829">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have loved Erma Bombeck since I was a kid and read her stuff in the old Readers Digest condensed books.  I recently found copy of this, and enjoyed it, but not as much as I did when I was younger.  Maybe it strikes too close to home now that I'm a mom myself?  Mostly what I'm afraid will happen.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34815280">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Bombeck's satire is one of the things that brings joy and hope to my life...In this particular collection she writes on the phenomenon of urban flight and subsequent life in suburbia. To a girl who grew up in the suburbs, and couldn't wait to get out, this rings very true!]]></body>
