I knew some of her life and found her an intriguing character. She's smart and sardonic and unapologetic. The bits of this book I read really reinforced my impression of her as someone who is great at social commentary. If you're looking for fast paced stories with a lot of action, this isn't for you. If you're looking for stories with subtle message and witty, sardonic commentary on human interactions, look no further! <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/126995?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
