I realize that this is not a good attitude. Nonetheless, that's the way I am. Probably because I am a large and lazy breed.

It will make you glad you never had to go through the New York City shelter system, which might brighten your day. But the people she follows through their rounds are living and complicated and engaging, so you're not constantly thinking about How Much American Capitalism Sucks while you read it. It's not polemic, or a screed. Or a jeremiad.*
And you are a large and lazy breed. Just remember where all the bombs are and you'll be alright.
*So rarely the chance to use in a sentence fragment. Sorry.
