Negative Positive
Title: blunt, honest, and on-target
Review: Anne Lamott loves Jesus and isn't afraid to say so. She's also not afraid to show how messed up her life (just like the lives of all of us) is. While some readers might get tired of her string of self-deprecating stories, I find it refreshing to find someone who is not only vulnerable, but also a gifted writer.I will admit, though, that after awhile I got tired of hearing how much Anne hates George Bush but doesn't want to hate George Bush because Jesus loves George Bush, but still she hates him anyway and Jesus is helping her with that, and... well, you get the picture. I can accept it for one story, but it becomes one of the underlying themes of the book. I'm surprised that someone as gifted and insightful as Anne Lamott has such one-dimensional political views (republicans=bad! democrats=good!), but I can accept it because her writing is so darn good.After reading this and "Traveling Mercy" I can't wait for "Plan C."
Is the review positive or negative?
