Uneven flow of consciousness - By: Jaybird, 15 Apr 2007
Nicholson Baker has made a career of writing about smalll moments in intense detail. This slim book covers his musings whilst giving his 6 month old daughter a bottle of milk.

Baker has moments of real perceptiveness, which made you glad you picked up his book, but in-between those moments are chunks of writing which are as dull distractedly feeding a baby can be. In some senses that makes you appreciate the insights more when they come.

He writes like no-one else out there & he writes well. This book does not feel like fiction, it feels very much real & honest. However, in the end, this is not a great book.
