As with most collections from a variety of authors, the works can tend to vary over a fair range. The topics here are mostly all pretty good. Sadly one author, I think is mostly there because she's "Famous Canadian Female Author." It mostly doesn't apply to anyone else, or at least anyone not close to exactly that.

That perception may well be because I don't much like her writing, and I'm often running into a vague, "I don't think this is a good person," type feeling as well.

Ah well. It was one of ~20 pieces. So you know, not a big deal, just it was one piece that took 4 stabs at to get through, while most were 1 or maybe 2 tries, and only 2 tries, because I was falling asleep.
