5Hilarious and touching collection of travels and tribulations  Nov 29, 2007
By Timothy J. Galvin
What it must be like to travel with the author. Adventure seems to follow her where ever she goes. Simple trips turn into massive ordeals with humorous consequences. I highly recommend you take this book on your travels to help you make your own life more dramatic.

Her stories of friends and family are just as entertaining! What a collection of characters. Little Jordan Finnerty with his nose-picking adventures is by far my favorite.

Melissa Schad is definitely an author to watch. Kind of like Candace Bushnell meets Erma Bombeck. I believe this is her first novel and I am looking forward to many more!!

5I'm not a reader, but breezed through this effortlessly  Dec 11, 2007
By David M. Stuckey
I am 29 years old and I don't think I have even finished a book since I was in High School, let alone one that is over 400 pages. I am very excited about this book and probably more excited about telling all my friends about it. I have already purchased 3 more copies so I can hand them out. I am in awe of the hilarious writing ability the Author is gifted with. They way that she can mentally teleport you directly into the stories is simply supernatural. This is hands down the funniest thing I have ever read in my life. A friend and I read a good portion of the book out load the other night, and over the course of 2 hours we often had to stop because of the wave of laughter that would come over us due to the mental concoctions that Melissa would mix up in our heads. I am predicting a very successful and positive response to this book. I am already starting it over and will probably repeat the cycle till she publishes the next phases of her life and all its debris.

5LIVED, She has really LIVED!  Jan 07, 2008
By Lynese "reader and a mom"
What a great memoir, I laughed until I cried, and nearly peed my pants. She clearly loves adventure and finds it where ever she goes. I can't put it down at night to sleep, I just keep reading. It's fun in a book! Some of us live, and some of us LIVE. Ms. Schad had LIVED to the fullest!

By Rachel "Rachel"
I just finished reading Melissa Schad's book. I really enjoyed it and some parts were really funny - it's hard to believe that some of these events really happened to her!
