- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2022Much joy and hope for living with ostomies for different reasons. Lifesaving procedures that need to become more accepted and talked about and appreciated. Lots of humorous and serious events.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2024I purchased this book for my mom after she had to get a colostomy bag due to some cancer complications. This book was able to bring her some comfort and laughs. Just the name of the book when I showed it to her brought on some
much needed laughs.
She enjoyed the stories and helped her start navigating this new way of life for her.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2014I gave it, after reading it to our stoma nurse. She was laughing in
the office with the doctors…so I guess it is helpful for everyone.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2015This is a great read if you have or are in need of an ostomy. Humor goes a long way with a loving touch. This book will take you there. I am getting ready for my second Ileostomy, and permanent one due to Crohn's. So even though I know the ropes, it still gave me a lift. I recommend this book to family and caregivers too.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2021There is thick black stuff on the cover that scrapes off, crease through whole book, dog ear on back cover. Black marks on all sides of white pages. Bought as a gift but not in gifting quality.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2015Darling book. I took it to our Ostomy Support Group meeting last week. The writer has been where all the rest of us ostomy folks are and know that LAUGHTER certainly helps us get through a LOT of difficult times.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2017I bought this for my brother. But let me tell you. My sister and I were laying in my bed each with our laptops and a glass of wine trying to read every thing about this thing that just happened to our brother we could for our brother and we were in shock. ..., Anyway, I found this book and we had such a great laugh at just the title. I bought it that very second. But just laughing at the title and the excerpts ........ It really helped us at that moment.

1.0 out of 5 stars IT's like fishing. SOmetimes you catch a trophy and sometimes you throw it back!!
THe piano books are super. THe arrangements are lush and full . just difficult enough to keep you on your toes.
I'd Like to buy a Bowel, Please,didn't appeal to my husband. NOt his style. BUt "Great Comebacks" apparently suits his interests. I see him reading it often. I have not read it.
