Funny!,
By
This review is from: I Never Woke Up 'Til I Was Forty (Paperback)
Martha has written a very funny book -- and don't just take my word for it.
When I wrote my book on marketing this is what I revealed... (This is an excerpt from Book Marketing DeMystified: Enjoy Discovering the Optimal Way to Sell Your Self-Published Book, Practical advice from the inventor of print-on-demand (POD) publishing)... Martha Knight Foster wrote a humorous and heartwarming account of her mid-life crises in her novel I Never Woke Up 'Til I Was Forty [isbn 1553954408]. She sent a draft copy to the famous comedienne Phyllis Diller with a letter telling Diller how she was an inspiration for Martha's writing style. Diller wrote Martha back to thank her and gave her book this glowing endorsement: "It is fabulous funny reading. LOVE, Phyllis Diller." By including Diller's comments on the book's back cover and all marketing materials, suddenly Martha had transformed her product from "just any novel" into a "fabulous funny reading" experience endorsed by one of America's top celebrities. Clever idea!

Offering a recognizable human experience,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Never Woke Up 'Til I Was Forty (Paperback)
Deftly written in the form of a collection of one-page journal notes, I Never Woke Up 'Til I Was Forty by Martha Knight Foster is an engaging portrait of Annie Bloom, a fictional woman dealing with her turning point in life. Telling of Annie's struggles with the roles of wife and mother, and offering a recognizable human experience that women everywhere can relate to, I Never Woke Up 'Til I Was Forty is a most enjoyable read with a deeply resonating undercurrent.

I'm a maine-iac for this book!!!,
By BBaldacci (Portland, Maine United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Never Woke Up 'Til I Was Forty (Paperback)
I live in Maine myself and had the chance to get my hands on I Never Woke Up Till I Was Forty a few weeks before it showed up here at Amazon.com. I know it's been a major topic of conversation for both myself and lots of other people in my area -- from young to old. I was pleased to see that this book is now finally available on the internet for people all across the country to order. It's a wonderful, funny peek into the life of an Every Woman -- identifiable to millions of women from coast to coast. She is our mother, our friend, our acquintance. Martha gives us a character to attach ourselves to and get connected with. The story makes you think, ponder, and laugh at your own life. It's been truly one of the best books I've read in awhile and it's diary format really adds to the journey Annie Bloom takes us on. I promise it will not disappoint!!
