Ellmann, Lucy

Is it worth the considerable time and effort required to get through 728 densely packed pages to journey into the mind of this funny and insanely loveable worrywart? Yes! It’s a jaw-dropping miracle.

Mimi is less a novel and more an author leveling a barrage of her views at potential readers. Whatever gems there are may be rendered unrecognizable in this frenetic mishmash. This book may be best suited for readers who prefer having their every reaction blatantly dictated to them by a dauntless author.
