I first read this book while riding the bus to work and laughed so hard and long people were looking at me. I saw a lot of myself and my family in this book. I'd give it 5 stars if it were just a little longer.
TOOOO FUNNY, TOOOO TRUE!!!

ooooh, I laughed so hard at this book! It makes you remember things you probably long forgot or just chose to block out of your mind. Whatta hoot! I think my favorite one was the one about the woman with the halter top on and her stomach hanging out thinking that she is da domb! I seen this lady in a resturant just the other day! I couldn't stop laughing thinking about her and this book. Don't get all deep with this book, it's meant to be lighthearted and funny, not a jab at black folk! Read it for what is was meant to be...hella funny!!
Could not stop laughing at myself and my family

This is a book that transcends culture, class, race, and ethnicity. I don't think there is one person in America that did not see themselves in at least five of the descriptions in this book. I had everyone in my family read this book and circle in red the passages that described them. When I was done there were only about ten that had not been circled!!! Berry outdid herself it was great to laugh at myself, which we as Black people need to do a little more of. The book was in a way very therapeutic.
DAMN: EVERYBODY'S GOT A LITTLE GHETTO FLAVOR!!!

Dr. Berry will even have your saddity Aunt Geraldine nodding and laughing in agreement to half of the descriptions in this book. Some of them are enough to make you fall out from laughter, crawl under a table in shame or cry tears of sympathy for those who are too ghetto for their own good. If you ain't got at least 10 of these traits, you're in denial, lying or both!!! ADMIT IT: WE'S ALL GHETTO Y'ALL!!!
It's so true, that I couldn't help but laugh!!!

This book is just unreal! By reading every page, you can just reflect and think about it. Eventually, you will find yourself laughing in agreement.
