Really quite funny, but even I was wearing out on the shtick by about halfway through. It's very short at only 100 pages, and almost all the answers that Marie Rudisill provides are both hilarious and true. Still, the hefty price tag ($15.00) and the sense that the ghostwriter or editor in charge of it was getting a bit heavy-handed on the project makes it either a library pick-up or something to read over coffee at your local bookstore. Very fun, though...
Truman Capote's aunt -- how can you go wrong?
just watch her on tv.
She is the funniest thing. She tells it like it is with a twisted but true sense of humor.
Love the fruitcake lady.
I hope to be this wise one day.
