- Hilarious and Useful
- I love this book. I bought one for my sister as well because it's got great ideas and it's hilarious. A good resource to have for all sorts of things.… More reviews
- Definitely NOT a good audiobook; not really a good book at all!
- First, I bought this as an audiobook to get me thru a cross-country drive.
This is not a good choice for audio format - maybe you need the klitchy recipes and photos to make it as cutesy as it is billed to be. Still, I thought the content was not funny at all, just condescending, childish hostess advice most everyone has heard already. Marbles in your med chest?… More reviews

The layout is very old-fashioned. The chapters are spread… More reviews
