Title: GARBAGE! Why does everyone like this book?
Product review: Well, if you loved the movie "Steel Magnolias," you'll probably like this book. Personally I thought the book was maudlin, silly, poorly- written crap. (I listened to the audio version-- did not read the actual book.) The nauseatingly cutesy names of the women put me off right from the start: Vivi, Teensy, Neecy, and Caro??? The only parts I found marginally interesting were the painful parts of Vivi's life (the convent, the drug problem, etc.). I especially hated the stupid secret ceremonies out in the woods and the long, sappy passages about the "wonder and beauty and glory of the fabulous ya-yas." Gag!
