Summary: A bit of Southern Comfort delight
Comment: Oooh, Michael Lee West really knows how to write wonderful and wacky Southern characters. This is not a deep or revelatory book, not terribly meaningful in any literary way - it's just a great story with some delightfully memorable, and yes, Crazy Ladies. Three generations are spanned, headed by matriarch Gussie. Though some memorably dreadful events are chronicled, the overall tone is hilarity - and, in the end, love.
May Michael Lee Smith write on and on.

Summary: Best one yet...
Comment: Finishing Crazy Ladies marks the end of my tour de West, and I am so happy it has ended on such a fantastic note! I loved this novel and all of its humor, quirks, sadness, eccentricities and love. Michael Lee West is the best southern fiction writer in my book, and I can't wait for Mad Girls in Love to be published so I can read more.
Crazy Ladies is just that: CRAZY! A novel told in six voices, readers are treated to the intertwining lives of three generations of women, plus a maid that ties up the saga nice and tight. Miss Gussie begins the novel in 1932 with a bang of a drama and the sparks keep flying up until the end in 1972. Forty years of children, grandchildren, husbands, war, hippies, poverty, murder, rape, jealousy...it's all there. Crazy Ladies is a pageturner to the nth degree and will give readers whiplash with all its goings-on.
Michael Lee West's writing has a cozyness about it, a nice relaxing feeling that will make the pages fly by. She brings to life the signs of the times with passion and zeal; you can't help but smile and cry as your emotions are tugged in all directions. Crazy Ladies is wonderfully addictive, sweet and poignant, and outrageously funny. A fantastic epitome of southern life -- one that is not to be missed.

Summary: All Gussied up with someplace to go
Comment: Fans of Southern literature will love this book. And I'm not talking about the "Gone With The Wind" or "As I Lay Dying" variety of Southern lit; I'm talking about the "Fried Green Tomatoes," "Bark of the Dogwood," "Miss Julia Speaks her Mind" Southern lit. It truly is a crazy book, told from six different perspectives, each one unique and moving. This is by far one of the most unusual books you'll find on the market today. If you're looking for a crazy good time, look no further, folks: this is it.
