Download Dancing Queen: The Lusty Adventures of Lisa Crystal Carver djvu

Lisa Carver is nothing short of brilliant. I've ordered everything I can find of hers. Try Drugs Are Nice if you like what you see here.

Prompt, courteous, and as described! Would gladly buy from again! A+

My 1 Star Rating is strictly about the reading material itself, NOT the condition of the book, or the service, which was all good.

I would definitely order books again through this dealer, just not anymore by Lisa Carver!

The reviews for it sounded like some fun reading, but I got bored before page 25, even, no good.

Maybe this book was a fluke, but I'm not paying 1 cent for anymore by her to find out.

There's SO MUCH treasure out there to read, no time for the drivel.

Lisa 'Suckdog' Carver is the crazy antidote to Gen X apathy. She is excited by, and loves, everything, up to and including pap smears and Russian politicians. This very slight tome is a selection of writings from her zine 'Rollerderby' (nothing to do with the sport, more her crazy love of all things late 70's/80's). She may have made some very questionable life choices - shacking up and having a baby with a guy who has an - ahem - unhealthy obsession with the losing side of World War II - but that's a whole different book. "Drugs Are Nice", to be specific.) She is one passionate, positive and lusty chick who sounds like she'd be great fun to watch horror movies and go shoplifting with.

I admit to being insanely jealous of Lisa Carver. In the first place, she is getting a lot more sex than I am. In the second, she writes better than I do, too. Even though we grew up at opposite ends of the country (she in New Hampshire and me in Alabama), my own rural upbringing makes it easy for me to relate to her tales of the White Trash subculture. I know those K Marts and ''Lawrence Welk Show'' reruns too well. And what makes me even more jealous is that she has no formal training as a writer. She has only the hard-knocks experience of producing a 'zine. Her chapter on the difference between K Mart and Wal-Mart alone is worth the purchase price (even if I'm a Wal-Mart partisan, myself). The insanely brilliant discussion of the sado-masochistic undertones of Lawrence Welk is just an added bonus. I came away from ''Dancing Queen'' with a newfound respect for Trailer Trash -- even if I still have no intention of dating any.

Ask people what books have changed their lives and you're likely to get a whole bunch of sheep extoling the virtues of Tuesdays with Morrie, or something equally sad and boring with an obvious "moral of the story".

Well, to hell with that mundane, depressing business-in the words of the Bee Gees, you should be dancing! Dancing Queen is a joyous testament to really LIVING life. Lisa's wild, adventurous tales are hilarious and inspiring. Lisa breaks down preconcieved notions and societal norms to reveal an world teeming with delicious possibilities. As Carver herself said, Dancing Queen is a book about having fun. And what fun it is!

Lisa Carver, as a writer, makes it okay for us to embrace every part of ourselves. I think she is a better role model for teen girls that people like Brittney Spears could ever be. She understands herself, her sexuallity, and the world we live in (for the better and the worse). She takes the shame out of being poor, and encourages you to enjoy life. I could only call her inspirational.

it'll rock your socks...and you know you got your socks at k-mart...
