I started to read one of Ann’s books several years ago and realized one sad fact: She had the same solution for every single problem she commented on. Each essay was the same as the last, though she used different words.
Then, as now, I think she is over-rated and I think she is famous because she wasn’t afraid to speak out. But there is no substance to her work. It doesn’t make one think or ponder or muse in any way because she points out everything step by step, as if she were talking to cretins.
Sorry, but I wasn’t impressed. I’m still not.
I think it depends on which book. Some are more in-depth, and some are collections of syndicated columns.
