Summary: Pretty good....
Comment: I liked it, but it wasn't what I expected. I thought I would be reading a book about an orphan who is forced to live with his cruel, lazy, alcoholic aunt. All in all, it's still a pretty entertaining book.
Rating: 4
Summary: Aunt Esther, Aunt Bea, Aunt Flo don't hold a candle to...
Comment: Do I feel gipped! My own Aunt's Barb and Joannie were absolute flops compared to Auntie Mame.
I tripped over the movie version of this tale one afternoon and was smitten by it's over-the-top flinging of conventional life. In this case, the movie does justice to Mr. Dennis' tale. Finding an author by accident is a gift...and it doesn't arrive C.O.D. from Macy's at Christmas. --Laurel825

Summary: Timeless
Comment: Since it was reprinted, the topic of Mame Dennis has crept into a lot of online reviews and conversations over cocktails. I recently got into a screaming match on an airplane over the topic of Mame's relevance today. Even some of the reviews on this site are less than flattering and I want to answer them all by suggesting that the authors (and readers) read the book again.
Mame is an icon, even today. She is our Alice in Wonderland all grown up, smarter, wittier and more interesting than Mary Poppins, and I wish that she had been sent to Oz instead of that Dorothy girl or allowed to poke around the back of C.S. Lewis' wardrobe. No other heroine of modern fiction would have kept the Japanese Ito in her employ, or stood up to such ugly anti-Semitism in polite New York society. She rallies behind a pregnant Agnes Gooch and looks after her nephew (and a whole lot of other children during the war) as few other figures might have; dominating four decades as no other could have, she knows the benefit of a good drink and the power of humour in bleak times. This book and its title character are as remarkable today as when the book was first released, and I daresay that she will be for a long time to come.
