Carter's essay are entertaining and thought provoking. Also, very often funny. In this collection, there are book reviews, travelogues, and political commentary. My favorite essay is the comparison/contrast essay about Paddington and Winne the Pooh.

This book made me fall in love with a dead woman.

I'm in literal awe of her genius.

(The only reason there is a half star missing from my rating is that as an overall collection, it can get a teensy bit repetitive, but not so much that it loses its charm.)
