Weekend Review

Would Everybody Please Stop: Reflection on Life and Other Bad Ideas
by Jenny Allen
3 stars



This collection of short essays is a bit mystifying.  There were a few, mainly memoir-type, very funny essays about the author's life but then there were pieces added in that were random and not humorous at all.  There were a few, including an Elmer Fudd therapy session, that I skimmed over altogether.  I really wish the whole book would have just been anecdotes from the author's life and she would have left out the more slapstick writing.  I received this digital ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
