Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First I'd like to say that I really like Jenny Slate and her work as an actress and comedian. She's funny, weird and embraces her odd-ballness and that's great. This book, however- is just TOO WEIRD to really get into. I love essays and creativity and symbolism and metaphors and all that fun stuff but this book takes all of those to a whole other level that is just TOO, TOO MUCH to enjoy. I wanted to like this book, I purchased it right away without reading even a single review (my mistake) and midway through I realized that this was an impulsive buy and not something that I would find much substance within. I think Jenny Slate missed a great opportunity here-- she could have taken her weird writing down about 10 decibels and written some truly great personal essays. I would have liked to hear more normal versions about her haunted childhood home, her breakups, friendships and especially her relationship with Chris Evans (along with every other red-blooded American woman) and less of her kissing rabbits. A lot of WTF reading going on in this one. Just because you get a creative burst to write when you're stoned out of your mind, doesn't mean you should get published. Pass on this one.
