Trailer Trashed: My Dubious Efforts Toward Upward Mobility

When I began the book at first I didn't think it was going to live up to the hype. The more I read the more I laughed, out loud! There is a note of seriousness but I really loved it, I am going to get her other books.

I really do like this book. I've met Hollis and my boys love Grant at the Local but honestly - potty mouth aside -many of her stories are very touching. Then take a breath as the next one is as likely to make you laugh out loud. Now if you don't have a an open mind and if you can't appreciate other's lifestyle choices - then maybe another book choice would be better. But if you like David Sedaris - I'd say there is a good chance you will like this one too. Me for one, I'm a fan of both but then I like to laugh!

You know, Hollis is the one author that I wish were my neighbor and good friend! What fun it would be to "hang" with her and her band of weird friends. I've read all of her books and laughed so hard that many times I had to put the book down because I had tears in my eyes and couldn't read the words on the page. Through all the humor, there shines the real Hollis, who is a kind and sincere person...a bit off center, but wonderful just the same. You will love this book!

At first I thought the title was purely creative, but once I started reading the book I realized Hollis really knows a thing or two about trailers, and is honestly sharing her life experiences as she climbs the ladder of success. The stories in this book are absolutely hilarious, and inspiring for anyone who likes to read about free spirited/creative/honest/successful people.
