Some of her essays were interesting and I didn't find her societal commentary as offensive as I had expected to based on some of the hype. She does seem annoyed with modern life at times - but in a way that being childless in a sea of child-rearing friends I can appreciate. Her essays on some books and authors weren't fascinating at all and I admit to skimming portions of those out of boredom.
