Good
I liked & truly enjoyed the book. I think it might have even been better if the section dealing with The Whitehouse Visit would have been left out as the views shared aren't my beliefs and it tainted my opinion of the story somewhat.Read full review...

OK but not as good as her 2nd book (About Your Father and Other Celebrities I Have Known)
Not as good as Peggy's 2nd book. In fact, I enjoyed the 2nd book (About Your Father and Other Celebrities I Have Known) so much that I thought I'd enjoy her other book, as well as 2 books that Mike Rowe had written (Profoundly Disconnected: A True Confession from Mike Rowe, The Way I Heard It by Mike Rowe).
I thought this book had too much detailed information about things that were inappropriate and should not have been written about (TMI Too Much Information).
When I opened both of Mike Rowe's books, I was turned off immediately and very disappointed. Apparently Mike Rowe enjoys sharing inappropriate information and is more of a shock jock in writing. His books were a 100 percent waste of my money. I ripped them up and threw them away so no one else had to be put through what I did when reading just the first pages of each book.
If Mike would have been more discerning about his audience, it would have made much better reading.Read full review...

Boring boring book
I don’t know if I’m too young, although 40 is not young, but this book was so boring. The author made it seem as though her elderly mother was so out there and outrageous, but she was just an old lady to me. I didn’t find one of the short stories remotely funny 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ Had I not had to read this for book club, I wouldn’t have finished it Read full review...

Good read, but not as entertaining as I had hoped.
Nothing too heavy, but not a lot of meat there, either. Just skims the surface, without revealing much about the title character or the author. The kind of chit-chat you'd share at a dinner party with mostly strangers.
I was hoping for more funny, or something profound. It gives neither, and so is mostly forgettable.Read full review...

"About My Mother" - funny & entertaining. Highly recommended.
Very entertaining book written by the Mother of Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" fame. The book is not about Mike, in fact he is hardly even mentioned but it is easy to see who he got his sense of humor from. The collection of short stories revolves around Mike's Mother (who is the author), her Mother and their relationship. The stories are laugh-out-loud funny and some are poignant, it was very enjoyable to read. Read full review...

Heartwarming and hilarious
The interactions between this mother and daughter are both heartwarming and at times hilarious. The writer is a very gifted story teller and keeps you entertained. I reached the end of the book and still wanted to keep reading. You will enjoy this book very much. Read full review...
