..If you are a woman with and open mind and a sense of humour then this is a real delight. The characters, the situations, I have never laughed so much while reading. Enjoy!
One of the top five best books of the 20th century. September 1, 1999
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Six of One deserves to be ranked among the best works of modern authors in America. Rita Mae Brown's wit, wisdom, and winning prose capture the true flavor of much of the 20th century, with realistic characterizations which universally represent much of what is familiar to us all. This is not a book about a single subject, it is a book about life, and about love. But most of all it is a book about perspective and the genuine values in life. In this book, laughter resides at the top of the list. God help us all if Rita Mae Brown ever writes a comedy...I nearly died of laughter from this work of real life drama!
A book for every woman. July 31, 1999

Upon finishing this book I immediately went back to the beginning and started it again. I love this book, and thank the person who lent it to me. I am ordering copies for myself, my daughter, my best friend and my sister. The scene at the July 4th parade is, I think, my favorite. Brown's prose is so vivid that you share the pandemonium, the hilarity, and outrageousness of the melee with the characters. Tugboats and Lady Liberty!!!
 A Sneaky Pie Brown Mystery you are not!!! July 28, 1999

The strong lesbian overtones of this book disappointed me and I stopped reading it. I will not allow my teenage daughter to read this. We are avid fans of Sneaky Pie Brown mysteries and I erroneously assumed this would be of that caliber. Reader beware!

Although it's been 16 years since I first read Six of One, it still stands out as the most hilarous story I've ever had the howling pleasure to read...OUT LOUD! I read it as a university student, and constantly woke my roommate...and the girls upstairs...with my explosive laughter. I just have to say, "Fannie's handbag..." to elicit explosions of glee from others who have read this book...I'm going to treat myself to a second reading!
