This was the first Chicken Soup book I had bought. I AM a proud Military Wife and I couldn't put this book down. I laughed, I cried and it was easy to relate to the emotions and events. Yes, we are in a different time than most of the stories but time hasn't really changed what it's like to be a military wife. I look forward to a sequel. I will buy it the day it comes out, as I bought this one the day it was released too. I now have several Chicken Soup books. What can I say, this book made me a fan.

Some actually change a mundane sign into something not just provocative but profound -- while still being uproariously funny. Artistically, the book is situationist and interventionist. May I explain? The signs belong only in certain environments (situations); the superimposed stickers, always a mere single syllable, intervene on the mundane thoughts which the utilitarian signs usually generate. At the same time, the stickers bring the signs to life like turning so many inert puppets into real people. With one single action, the stickers force removal of the original meaning, but not entirely: hence the... See less
