Book Reviews of The Big Rumpus: A Mother's Tale from the Trenches (Live Girls)
Book Review: The Big Rumpus
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading Ayun Halliday's "No Touch Monkey", I missed her humor so much I ran right out and bought "The Big Rumpus"! Being a mother of three, I couldn't help but relate to her humorous tales of her and her children. She writes about motherhood and shows all the ugly warts of the profession but also clearly conveys her depth of love for her children. So many of her stories had me laughing saying, "I did that too!" I know EXACTLY where she's coming from when she talks about the joy, the tedium and the exhaustion of raising children. It's nice knowing that I'm not the only one who sometimes feels trapped by the ones I love more than life itself! Ayun's refreshingly honest portrayal of her and her family had me missing them by the end of the book.
