Editorial Reviews

editor reviewer
A Piece of Cake by Linda S. Amstutz is a collection of her essays. The topics vary; each one will have you rolling on the floor in laughter. She begins her book with "My Last Party" in which she plans her own funeral. I could relate to the topic because I’ve also planned my funeral. After reading the wonderful celebration she has planned, I may have to borrow a few of her ideas and incorporate them into my plans!

"The Five Day Rule" is filled with advice and wisdom for the host

    Honestly funny honesty

    When I first began reading Linda Amstutz's "A Piece of Cake," my initial impression was the author was one disturbed person. As I read on, I realized that Linda was merely being disturbingly honest and often sharing thoughts most of us would keep hidden from all but the closest friends.

    Have you ever fantasized about planning your own funeral? Linda has and she throws a really fun funeral. Not only does the author share these thoughts, she laughs loudly at herself for having such thoughts. I often find myself laughing along with her. "A Piece of Cake" is a saucy, yet sweet fun little read.
