Annie Dillard did a fantastic job describing her childhood and her inspiration for wanting to become a writer through this book. I really appreciated the innocence and the use of descriptions that she used to draw the reader in. I felt that I really related to a lot of her childhood experiences and found myself thinking back to my own childhood experiences.

Not worth the time it took to plow through this book. It was unanimously disliked by the group and, in fact, only 2 members read the whole book..
