Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year
reviewed Fabulous, funny, fantastic. on + 5 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 2


Anne Lamott has the guts to write what no one else does--she looks her own shortcomings and mistakes as a first time mom straight in the face and refuses to flinch. What results is illuminating and real beyond comparison. Plus, she's hilarious. I laughed out loud so often my husband was convinced I was off my rocker for real this time. Incredibly enjoyable, insightful, and worth every second.
