MixedThe Los Angeles Review of BooksGary offers a breezy and concise tale of a lost young woman who finds herself writing preschool books and even meets her soul mate, only to die tragically at age 42 … Gary also offers the reader another (possibly apocryphal) story on the creation of Brown’s masterpiece, Goodnight Moon ... Sometimes it’s better not to meet your idols. Reading [In the Great Green Room], I felt rather as though I were watching a pile-up — crash after crash.
