enjoyed

I am happy to say I enjoyed this sequel even more than the original. I knew the characters and so knew more of what to expect from each lady. Laughter, a few tears and lot of wisdom. just wish haywood smith was writing more of these great books. a series of them would be awesome. i lent my son's girlfriend the first book and she loved it to and she is 21. I quess that says it all.

New Favorite Book of All Time

I absolutely loved this book. It's a story of friendship and love - no matter what - and it's told so wonderfully by Ms. Smith. I laughed until I had tears streaming down my face - and then laughed some more. And I cried. I was right there with them through every trial, tribulation, and joy. I want to join the Red Hat Club!

Great follow up to The Red Hat Club!

I love this book - such a great novel detailing the friendship and bonds of a group of women over the years. I'll be re-reading it!

Fun & Fabulous!

A truly fantastic read! This book speaks to women of all ages, drawing you in immediately. How can you not love the Red Hats? Impossible to put down, I read it in one night- you simply can not go to sleep without knowing exactly how the story of the Buckhead Babes will end. George, Susu, Linda, Dianne and Teeny could all easily be your very best friends and their troubles are ones that you could face tomorrow. Easy to relate to, wonderfully entertaining- the perfect literary equivalent of a chick flick. The story is a terrific take on everlasting friendship and this book is a definate must-read! Enjoy...

life begins at fifty

Though the membership are all in their fifties, the Red Hats still meet every month for lunch though their choice of locale has changed somewhat since Teeny has twenty million earned during the Clinton stock market boom to waste. Instead of always a high class Atlanta area location, the group also meets elsewhere incuding the Bahamas though that was part of a month long plastic-surgery extreme makeovers cruise. When member Pru breaks the substance abuse tenet of the twelve commandments, her southern sisters (Georgia, SuSu, Diane, Linda, and of course Teeny - someone has to pay for this extravaganza) ignoring tradition 5 of minding your own business, converge on Las Vegas. Sin City is not prepared for the invasion of the Red Hats who plan to intervene and kidnap Pru so that they can take her to clean herself up in the Rockies at an exclusive rehab center, but first they must play the slots. The Red Hat Club once again proves that life begins at fifty as these Southern steel magnolias refuse to allow time or family relationships to interfere with their long time friendships. The current tale is intriguingly deep yet irreverent as the members satirically assault anything in their way, just ask Elton John, who will surely wear a red hat in his next public appearance. Haywood Smith provides a warm delightful tale of strong friendships that mean helping one another live life to the fullest. Harriet Klausner
