Review by Deb Czajkowski
In general, genres follow a predictable pattern. Read a mystery novel and you can expect a
dead body and the ensuing search for “whodunit.” A romance starts by introducing this woman
and this man, and then you follow their myriad ups and downs until the end of
the book and the beginning of their happily-ever-after. Pick a subject any subject (Wine-making? PCs?
Playing Bridge? Travel?), and there’s a “for Dummies” book to explain it to
you.
Is there a genre for Throwing Yourself Under the Bus? What about cross categories like
Autobiography with Tell-All? Author
Heather Davis qualifies for all of that with her book Crazy on Board TMI Mom Rides Again.
Crazy
on Board is a compilation of “if it can go wrong” stories from her
childhood as well her now married-with-children life. If we all sat down and tried to think of a
funny or embarrassing story from our past (or maybe yesterday), we could probably
come up with one. Maybe you can recall a
family trip that involved a wrong turn and the subsequent misadventure. Or maybe yours is the crazy uncle who snored
so loudly after Thanksgiving dinner that…. Or the funny aunt who…
Now that I have you laughing out loud at funny family
follies, pick up Crazy on Board and
keep laughing. Will this book solve any
mysteries? Well, no, not the dead body kind at least. Will there be a happily-ever-after? Well, everyone does come through each story
safely in the end, so does that count?
Okay, no, it’s not a romance.
Will I learn a new skill? If you
mean like sewing or bee keeping or writing poetry, then no.
But
you will learn that everyone has a story. Some have enough stories to fill a
book. Stories that teach you that we all
have some crazy in there somewhere, and laughing is often the best way to get
through it. Or perhaps the best way to
remember it? This is Heather Davis’s Crazy on Board. If you need a few smiles to brighten your
life right now, to help you remember that we all do goofy things now and then, or
you just feel like something fun to read, pick up Crazy and get “on Board.”
