Spotting Improbable Moments of Grace - Small Victories

Hilarious and clever. I normally plow through books but her use of language is delicious and must be savored. Page after page I think "that is brilliant!" I plan to read all her books by years end. For sure this one is a winner.

As always, Anne Lamott manages to say in simple, gritty language what so many of us feel. As I read her essays, I feel she is in the trenches with me, or I with her. She feels my despair and offers hope for a day at a time. I appreciate her faith and her irreverent wit.

I've read everything Anne has written. While I think she is a good writer, I don't find her particularly intelligent, specifically in regard to politics and international relations. Stick to amusing anecdotes, Anne.

very personal stories and not especially positive except that she gives herself permission to be flawed and have faults and not always respond well to life, and honesty is refreshing, having said that it was like reading someone's journal who I think will probably always be very inside her own head, working things out, and not particularly willing to change, doesn't see the need to, even when she is not particularly happy. Sometimes ridiculous is funny and sometimes ridiculousness is just exhausting.
