Helpful Score: 1

I much prefer Lamott's essays and autobiographical books to her fiction. My favorite is still "Operating Instructions," As a parent of a teenager, I just found this book depressing and uncomfortable and very California-y...I did not enjoy it, but to be fair, the writing is good, characters are well-drawn and parts are witty. So you could make the argument that Lamott has been very successful in what she set out to do --
