With all the joy I got from reading and rereading Travelling Mercies (one of my all-time favorites) and Operating Instructions (the best baby memoir-type book I've seen), it's a surprise to me that I'm not crazy about her other books. Had I not read the first two, I probably would have liked Blue Shoe and all of her other novels, but I feel spoiled that she set the bar so high with those books. Her other books to me fall in the "other" category. They all feel too familiar to each other - like changing some of the details and names and creating different cover art.
I'm glad that she wrote T.I. and O.I., though, because I like those so much.
