Thoughts from one of my favorites Lisa Scottoline while gave me even more insight on this talented author it wasn't what I would have expected. It's rather slow and somewhat predictable. Her heart for her animals and her family is true. Lisa leads an exciting life yet also very settled in. She seemed to really want this book to across with much humor. I would have enjoyed hearing more of just her. ( ) My daughter got me this book, once again proving her talent for finding the perfect gift. As soon as I saw the pets in the author's photo on the back cover, and learned that Scottoline's a NYT bestselling and Edgar award-winning author who also writes a column called "Chick Wit" with her daughter, I was hooked. Her descriptions of golden retriever personalities were spot-on hilarious. Clever puns keep you smiling throughout relatable tales of being a female at every age, the dynamics with her daughter, exes and her aging mother, her memories of being raised in an Italian-American family... secrets and guilt women don't usually admit to out loud. I recommend this to my sis-in-law, friends Virginia and Julie because of the chapters about raising chickens, and to anyone else who needs a laugh. Released in 2009, a few passages are a bit dated, but still funny because the topics are timeless. Light and entertaining memoir read by Lisa Scottoline (pronounced "lini" at the end) herself. While I've read some of her fiction, this is eye-opening, as I really didn't picture her as a Jersey "dago" -- her word, but it's there in her accent all right. She recounts numerous humorous events involving her 3 dogs, her intrepid mother, her gay brother and her aspiring writer daughter who puts in some verbal guest appearances reading her own perspective on some of the incidents. Scottoline has heart and it comes through in the events she chooses to share as well as her feelings about them. no reviews | add a review

HTML: A hilarious collection of stories from the life of The New York Times bestselling author of Look Again At last, together in one collection, are Lisa Scottoline's wildly popular Philadelphia Inquirer columns. In her column, Lisa lets her hair down, roots and all, to show the humorous side of life from a woman's perspective. The Sunday column debuted in 2007 and on the day it started, Lisa wrote, "I write novels, so I usually have 100,000 words to tell a story. In a column there's only 700 words. I can barely say hello in 700 words. I'm Italian." The column gained momentum and popularity. Word of mouth spread, and readers demanded a collection. Why My Third Husband Will Be a Dog is that collection. Seventy vignettes. Vintage Scottoline. In this collection, you'll laugh about: Betty and Veronica's Life Lessons for Girls A man's most important body part Interrupting as an art form A religion men and women can worship Real estate ads as porn Spanx are public enemy number one And so much more about life, love, family, pets, and the pursuit of jeans that actually fit! .
