I really enjoyed this book. It is about Auntie Mame- a glitzy, bubbly and not to mention rich woman who suddenly finds herself as the caretaker of her young nephew (the author). Each chapter tells a different story in which Auntie Mame does something ridiculous, outrageous or glamourous. The story starts in 1929 and ends around 1940ish. It is a laugh out loud novel, and is fairly quick. It is actually based on the author's (Patrick Dennis) aunt, so it is almost true. And the story reads so true and honest that I believe it. Auntie Mame was actually made into a play, musical, movie and a movie musical. I highly recommend this book. Go forth and read it! I guarantee that you will laugh out loud!

ReplyDeleteI have not read the book, but the movie was more drama than comedy (if I remember correctly.) What I remember most about it was the amazing job Rosalind Russel did in portraying the title character.
ReplyDeletehmmm... i have never seen any of the movies or shows, so i will definitely go see them asap!
