This highly spirited interpretation of the cult classic is, like the book, full of humor and surprises.

This book also gave me some good cry time that was carharticI would even venture to say that it helped me deal with some unexpressed mommy issues. I knew I had them but wasn't really in the market for dealing with them. May have saved me some counseling sessions should I choose to have some (agai
