“If you are looking for a good belly laugh, this is it. Diana Estill’s writing is wickedly hilarious…”
—Norman Goldman, editor of Bookpleasures.com
Here’s the set-up…
Award-winning humorist Diana Estill sets loose her alter ego Deedee Divine in this hilarious life survival guide. This book calms nerves, lightens spirits, and helps find the fun in life’s frustrations. In her native Texas tongue, Deedee explains why “family that doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” women won’t read maps, and men should never use the “B-word”: budget. If you’ve ever wondered why weight loss is so difficult, how to sustain a happy marriage, or where to find the secrets to success, Deedee’s amusing advice will leave you howling.
What the reviewers say
“In this collection of humorous vignettes, Estill demonstrates a style that rivals the late, great Erma Bombeck. In prose that is humorous, she manages to strike every funny bone and sensitive nerve in the adult dealing with the absurdities of life. Everything from the role of flatulence (a new meaning to the phrase “take my breath away”) in the stable marriage to how to survive a “relaxing” vacation with the spouse and children is covered.”
–Charles Ashbacher, Top 50 Reviewer
“Deedee Divine’s Totally Skewed Guide to Life belongs in the collection of any library strong in humor essays. Outrageous advice on why women won’t read maps, health and beauty pursuits, food and fitness, and more make for a series of hilarious comments on the human condition in a zany, fun read perfect for general lending libraries.”
–Midwest Book Review
“If we can’t find laughter, in these difficult times, with so much negative being thrown at us constantly these days, all is lost! Stop, take a break, and read this hilarious look at how our everyday real life experiences are side splitting funny when we look back at them. From Back Yard BBQ’S gone “slightly” awry, to cross country “Trips”, where, well you remember what went on in the back seat, as well as diets you have tried that included hidden treats throughout the house, and of course one of my favorites how does this *@#! Car seat work!!!… A must read for all.”
