kikiduck 's review for:
The Pioneer Woman: Black Heels to Tractor Wheels: A Love Story
by Ree Drummond
lighthearted
fast-paced
Ree, for the love of God, put down the adjectives and walk away. Does everything need at least two descriptors? No. Does anyone need to refer to their "gestating body" three times in the space of a page and a half? NO. The seventy five plus times Marlboro Man was referred to as rugged and muscular was a little confusing too. I don't understand, is he rugged and muscular or not?
While we're at it, referring to him as Marlboro Man on the blog is one thing, but it seriously does not work in the book. I'm sorry, how do you recount your own wedding and never use the man's actual name?
There's a whole pile of other issues involving her nameless Marlboro Man "savior" coming in and sweeping her off her feet and saving her from a life of urban vegetarian-sushi-eating, so she can go cook him steak in the middle of the prairie and pop out babies (he wants six, she thinks she might want one, but he's "working on her." Eww.) but I'm not even going to go there.
