I recently finished reading Red Hats by Damon Wayans. I laughed my behind off.

Who knew that a crotchety old woman would be so funny? She wasn’t taking out her teeth but she was speaking her mind freely and taking no prisoners.

The main character, Alma, had her own crosses to bare, but she was one angry one. So angry that some of the stuff she was doing was oblivious to her conscious mind. However, deep down in her subconscious she knew what actions she took that cause her to be where she was at that very moment.

Damon Wayans did an awesome job of portraying the importance of the Red Hats, wearing ladies. They offered an unconditional type of friendship and expected nothing in return. Alma was mean as a gust of wind in the middle of a snowstorm. She offered them honesty.

I laughed out loud through various parts of the book. I would definitely read another offering from Damon Wayans.

I rate Red Hats a 4.5.
