Lighthearted and Funny

I enjoyed this for what it is-humorous. It isn't a memoir, it is a funny book with funny characters who we know a little-cause we all know kooky people. Sure, they are exaggerated, but humor always stretches. . .This is what it is, a funny, fun book to read-its not 'literature' its a book you pass on to a friend when you are finished with it. You probably have to be a mormon or know a lot of them to 'get' some of it, but its pretty universal stuff. I would like to read the others other books, so there is a recommendation.

Amusing, but unbelievable

There are a lot of funny parts to this book, for anyone who has been LDS for any length of time (if you're not LDS, it probably won't be funny at all). The humor is mostly of the sort where the protagonist makes many blunders and you (the reader) are glad that you, at least, aren't *that* clumsy. I found a lot of the people and conversations were so exaggerated as to not be realistic at all. While it's true that exaggeration can be a part of humor, it was just not believable to me at all that one person would make so many silly mistakes, and yet have such a perfect happy ending. There were some good things that the main character learned, which were more poignant due to the awkward circumstances she found herself in, though these insights are often talked about too much and demonstrated too little. It was a quick read, though, so if you want some light, funny reading and you find this book lying around, you might enjoy it.

This book is the first in a series, and a memorable introduction to the characters. Many of the scenes had me laughing aloud and trying to explain them to my wife.I particularily enjoyed seeing the all to real difficulties involved in running an organization carried to to such a humorous extreme.
