Customer Review:
A friend and I were talking a few months back about Madame Nobel Laureate, Toni, and why we both shake our heads at the dismissal of a truly brave artist such as Alice Walker.

Customer Review:
Chelsea Handler writes as if she's your close girl friend telling you a story over a drink at the bar. She's honest and witty as she dead pans her thoughts & reactions to her most ridiculous stories about men. I absolutely loved the book, and recommend it to any girl who's ever needed a night of... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
With nearly eighty reviews at the time I write this, there probably isn't much more stellar insight that I can give, which hasn't already been given so much more eloquently.
