After having read her other two books, and having just about liked them (Yes, I still don't think she is God's gift to book-world), there was no way I would've paid for this Kindle Single (is there a way I can publish them too, since that's what bloggers seem to be doing these days?), had it not been for the extreme love the husband carries for anything that has Crosley's name. I am in half a mind to think its her looks he likes and not her writing style, but I cannot totally strike off her writing also, she is not that bad. In fact , she is pretty good.
Very funny. LOng sentences with more than 20 words in each, but nonetheless, funny. Her usage at funny analogies always made me think of her as a new I-dont-know-what (coz, I obviously suck at analogies). There is also this self-deprecating humor she shows when she is talking about the situations she is involved in, my favourite being the one in which she talks about her liking for ponies (May be the fact that its her first essay in her first book could be a reason for me remembering it still)
To summarize what I feel about Crosley and all of her books, this one included - pick it up when you want to do some brain-dead reading and also laugh at the same time. And yes, if you like it, learn how she does those cool analogies and metaphors. That's all.

I enjoyed what there was of this story-disappointed by the price versus the amount of content. Still one of my favorite writers!

I've enjoyed Sloane Crosley's two essay compilations, so I was happy to put up a few bucks for the quick Kindle single about her trip mountain climbing. Not much to say, honestly - if you like Crosley, you'll like this.
