Loved Hating It - By: Jean Paul Debuc, 18 May 2005
I find PLAN B to be arrogant & offensive. Yet I rate it 4 stars. Why? I found much of MY FRACTURED LIFE to be offensive but I read it & highly recommend it to everyone. I found much of RUNNING WITH SCISSORS to be disgusting yet I still manage to recommend it. I can't stand Rush Limbaugh or Al Frankin but I still listen. Why? Because there is something to be learned ESPECIALLY when it is not our same point of view. And believe me, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who saw eye to eye with PLAN B. Anne Lamont is an equal opportunity offender - Right Wing & Left Wing (she's created the Martian Wing I think). But it's a book that I'm glad I read.
In a Knot - By: , 17 May 2005
Anne Lamont is an interesting egg, & a tough one to crack. She has an extremely charismatic writing voice - as powerful & utterly captivating as "My Fractured Life" or "The Glass Castle". But how she uses that voice is decisively different. Singing to a left wing harmony she writes of a knotted up life, a life that is unpretty & filled with conflict. Subjects range from mid-life hormones to parenting her teenager, alll coming full circle to her spiritual search. There is no balance to Lamont's writing. It jumps back & forth, up & down like a see-saw. That's what makes her odd assembly of essays so utterly captivating. If you enjoyed "My Fractured Life" & "The Glass Castle" this is a great compliment.
