Opinions have been pretty divided on Nora Ephron's new audiobook, I Remember Nothing. Depending on who you ask, Ephron is witty and insightful, or else tired and grouchy. Here's a sampling:
From the Globe and Mail:
"Yet her once razor-sharp wit now strays into grumpy Andy Rooney territory. Ephron is irascible and shallow, and occasionally verges on self-parody when she dedicates an entire essay to an eponymous meat loaf."

And on a cheerier note, from the New York Times:
"Yes, there’s some rehashing here, but that’s what we expect — what we love — from Ephron. She’s familiar but funny, boldly outspoken yet simultaneously reassuring. In much of her work, we get a story about betrayal, but the heroine picks up and moves on. Death of a friend or family member? Look on the bright side: there might be an inheritance somewhere, or at least a corn bread pudding recipe."
