The Lynne Truss Treasury: Columns and Three Comic Novels

I love East, Shoots & Leaves. So I was really excited to find this Lynne Truss Treasury. But unfortunately, I don't think Truss's fiction is as compelling as her grammar manifesto. All three of her novels were too bizarre for me, and they weren't redeemed by very likable characters. Her columns were a bit better, and I related to her cat-lady stories, but since I didn't follow her as a columnist, the collection seemed out of context and disjointed to me.
