The Red Hat Club (Abridged) Audiobook

" I listened to this book on audio on a long drive. The plot was predictable, but I enjoyed those spunky, southern ladies, they made me smile. "

" So NOT a fan. I don't understand why all the hoopla over this book. It was only mildly entertaining and definitely too formulaic and too much man bashing. "

" How wierd to read a book about a woman driving down the exact same road I just drove down! Good story. These women really exist here! "

" Is it wrong that I love these books? "

" did you like secrets of the ya ya sisterhood? then you'll like this book. it reminds me so much of that. its just like one big hallmark special. these women in their 50s or 60s now who used to be southern belles who still meet in their club, with flashbacks to other dilemas they had, plus the current one. so boring and sappy and sugary, i could not finish it. "

" This book is hysterical - The women in the book are great and a load of laughs "

" A bunch of college fraternity sisters maintain their friendship, even after they've all reached "a certain age". "

" Simply lovey. Well written as always. I'm just oh so pumped to read more from Haywood Smith. "

" I listened to this story as a book on tape and really enjoyed it! A wonderful story of friendship over time, great characters and many laughs. "

" Great story of frienship and life "

" Interesting. There were a few chapters that I personally could have done with out reading. I had a friend who listened to it on tape and had to stop it quite a few times because her kids were listening and things were very not appropriate!!! "

" This book definitely makes you want to say "you go girl!". It is the story of four middle age friends that have been through everything together since high school. Now, they have to avenge one of their own against none other than her own husband. It is a fun book. "

" great read! loved the passion of this group of friends "

" I listened to this on CD on a three hour ride to my friend's house and back. This book made the ride go so much quicker and more enjoyable. It's about a group of older ladies but it's nothing that is unrelatable. "

" This was a great book about having fun and friendship. "

" The Red Hat Club books by Haywood Smith are totally outlandish and funny! Great books if you want a laugh and something easy to read. "

" I enjoyed this book from start to finish! Fun, uplifting, and makes you want to join their club! "

" Nice story. Loved the Atlanta slant. Made 50 seem old. "

" Entertaining character development and a slow, lazy beach read by this witty southern author. "

" Sassy southern ladies going 50 and beyond -- great fun! "

" Fun summer read of 50 something Southern women who have been friends since high school. They've all married with varying degrees of success. Several subplots with the primary being about helping one of them exact revenge on her cheating husband. "

" This is one of my FAVORITE books. I love that it takes place in Atlanta about the time my parents were in High School. I recognize some of the places in the book that my Dad hung out. Zesto's on Piedmont, the Varsity! "

" This is a fun read- very different from most novels I read. Set in Atlanta and flashbacks to the 60's, I loved the different culture that is Southern ladies. Seeing as how this is about a bunch of women in their 60s, I didn't have a ton in common with them, but more than I expected! "

" I had hoped this book would be as good as 'The First Wives Club.' It isn't. Neither the characters nor their situations interested me. "

" The Southern version of the First Wives Club. "

" It was a little slow starting, and I wasn't a fan of the flashbacks to the girls' earlier years sprinkled throughout the book, but overall a pretty good book. "

" A quick, breezy read. It was quite enjoyable since it was set around the metro Atlanta area in the 60s and in the 2000s. I'll definitely pick up more of her books! "

" I liked reading this book about women who are in my peer group. Smith does a good job of telling of experiences many of us have had and the feelings at the stage of life we've reached. "

" I'm currently reading it and I don't know how I feel about it. So far, it's an okay book. I can't wait to finish this so I can read a better book. "

" I think Haywood Smith originally wrote a Southern Chick Lit novel about a group of friends called the Mademoiselles, but her editor said, "Change the group to Red Hats, and it'll sell, Haywood." So the thinly disguised Mademoiselles morphed into (nominal) Red Hats... "

" Nice story. Loved the Atlanta slant. Made 50 seem old. "

" Cute funny story of mischief and friendship. Reminded me of some of my dear friends and the things I would do for them. Look forward to reading part 2. "

" So NOT a fan. I don't understand why all the hoopla over this book. It was only mildly entertaining and definitely too formulaic and too much man bashing. "

" Great story of frienship and life "

" The Southern version of the First Wives Club. "

" This is a fun read- very different from most novels I read. Set in Atlanta and flashbacks to the 60's, I loved the different culture that is Southern ladies. Seeing as how this is about a bunch of women in their 60s, I didn't have a ton in common with them, but more than I expected! "

" very entertaining and a clever twist in the plot of married women. "

" a light diversion - a horror story for all married middle age women. "
