Her chapter on what happened when the sewage pipes broke in her illegal warehouse apartment in the seediest part of San Francisco's Mission actually made my stomach turn, and I found her chapter discussing her total inability to live up to the Baby Gap image of new motherhood more painfully honest than funny. If you have ever wondered what it's like to have drug dealers for neighbors while writing an online nightlife column before most people had even heard of the internet, however, you'll probably enjoy this book a great deal.

I thought a Sister Spit performer would have more interesting things to say, but Beth just wasn't all that interesting. Maybe her pieces are more exciting when she reads them aloud. Don't get me wrong, nothing in this collection of recollections is bad It's just that nothing in this collection of recollections is good.
Too bad, because I had high expectations. Mar 08, Sheila rated it did not like it. Not my type of book. It's almost like she was trying to impress the reader with her antics. Then, there was one incident in the first chapter where the "ick factor" almost made me stop reading at that point. But I kept going. Sometimes our first reaction is a good one: Nov 04, Waffle rated it really liked it Shelves: The stories were funny, light, easy, and very real life.
No huge revelations, just the stuff of living. I just read another book by a sister spit vet, and there were some interesting connections.

Nov 19, Nathanial rated it liked it Recommends it for: Here's more from our on-the-spot-anchor, Gloria: We have an introductory overview from the standpoint of the current moment, from an author who is aware of herself and us, and a slow jump back to the moment of the story.
Following a seemingly-isolated vignette, we have a genial summary of habitual action, a transformative encounter, and the resultant epiphanies. So that's story number one. Story number two seems to repeat this pattern, with a short scene in detail, a longer summary of idle time, and then a longer scene that spans two nights. More concise, this story does away with the introductory overview, and the summary conclusion.
Story number three develops this pattern with a longer scene at the start, a quick summary in the middle, and then a long scene at the end that only covers a few hours. Story number four does away with the established template, and even its variations, with one long summary punctuated by instants of dialogue. That's all for now, Velcro. I'll follow-up with further updates as events unfold. And now, a word from our sponsors.
The man got you down? Try 'Sudden Insights', the new product line from Feminism, Inc. Don't let an aggressive date tell you to 'suck his dick' Here's a testimony from Beth, one of our happy customers: The whole world, apparently, wants a fourteen-year-old girl to suck its dick. Side effects may include glib condescension, self-satisfied evaluations, and compassion fatigue. Beware of backlash from over-analytical critics. See a doctor to ask if 'Sudden Insight' is right for you. For more on this story, we turn to Zeuner Valve, live in San Francisco.
Clever, refreshing, and amusing - these are all characteristic we're used to find in the users of Sudden Insight. We look now at the life of B. It's so nice of her to find out that we're interesting and complicated people, too. How lucky we are. Jun 24, Michelle rated it did not like it. This is one of those books where you just know you wouldn't like the author. Feb 02, Willow Redd rated it it was amazing. I relate to Beth Lisick. While she had a quite normal and uneventful childhood, she found herself as part of the "counter culture.

Lisick seems to have similar issues. We can both fake it really well, though. The main difference between Beth Lisick and myself? She figured out a way to make a living doing what she enjoys. I'm still figuring that part out. But that's one of the main reasons I enjoyed this book I relate to Beth Lisick. But that's one of the main reasons I enjoyed this book so much. Here is an example of someone who didn't make it huge, didn't aim for the stratosphere of recognition and fame, but eked out a modest living doing what she wants to do.
She's got the house with the white picket fence, never mind that it's in a really rough neighborhood and her neighbor is a drug dealer. He's a better neighbor than the ones I have here in this "out in the county" housing development full of people with "regular" employment.
The story about the unkempt lawn is one I related to quite personally. Lisick's stories are personal and honest accounts of a life spent doing what had to be done in order to live the life she wanted. She works hard, no matter the job. This is a different girl! She and I have not led very similar lives, but how funny it is to read her life from her perspective. There are definitely the "gasping -she did not just say that! This book is not for the complete faint of heart. That said, however, I think that a lot of people will enjoy Ms. She's funny, poignant and very sassy. But, she definitely leaves me asking questions -- like, what do her parents Wow.
But, she definitely leaves me asking questions -- like, what do her parents think of her lifestyle?? I totally get her last chapter about her son.

I found it very moving. All in all I would recommend this book, but be forewarned that she delves into the world of - lesbians, drugs, rock n roll, her non-faith in religion and the such. Have fun and enjoy the ride! Sep 28, Candace rated it really liked it Recommends it for: I might reiterate that I love memoirs before I start. This might make the reader aware that my review might be a tad biased by the fact that this is what I would read anyway. They're vibrant and memorable, without being too long, and totally unique. In the "Bed and Breakfast" segment, the writer's observations about this strange phenomenon that sprang up in the last years of the 20th century are as accurate as an arrow from an Amazon's quiver: I resented the fact that when I finally came down to breakfast in one of these places, the hostess had seemingly been standing by the oven, warming my mini-orange-cardamom muffins for hours until, upon hearing my footsteps, she raced across the parquet to grab the quilted calico hen to put them in before they cooled off.
Finally, you have to love a writer who makes a verb out of "tart" as in "to tart up. Such an amazing book!! One person found this helpful.

This book was boring. I expected it to be funny and entertaining from the many other reviews i read on it.
Maybe it has to do something with being from San Fran. And if you're not, you don't get it. Anyway, it was a complete waste of my money and i will put it in the box for my next garage sale. Another good book to read by the light of the sun See all 27 reviews. Most recent customer reviews.
