my favorite book in the entire world. marked up the sides with notes. and definitely worn around the edges (with love, of course).

go buy this book.

[B. P. Rinehart · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although I do like certain stories and writings in this book, I am deeply put off by the smug commentary offered in this book while I understand trying to analyze this book a little more objectiveness could really have gone a long way here. Of course these are simply my opinions here.
