The Book of Joan by Melissa Rivers

 My latest book review for Blogging For Books....

    I can tell Melissa Rivers has inherited her mother's comedic genes because this book is filled with 'Rivers' quality' jokes and barbs. Each page has a laugh-out-loud moment, with chapters like Death Be Not Loud, and F's and U's and P's and Q's.
  This book is a great capsule of Joan's life, too,you learn about what she was like behind the jokes. Melissa's relationship with her mom will remind everyone a bit of their own mothers; the love, the exasperation, and the admiration as you grow older. It's another reason why the book is so relatable, it's not only about Joan and Melissa, it's those situations we've had with our own mothers that will make you laugh as you read along.
 Very Funny, very sweet, and a great weekend read.
