Query: Good Story... Unimpressive Author

After seeing this book at Kitchen Arts and Letters, I was intrigued, and finally picked it up a few weeks later. I am half way through the book now, and although the story and descriptions are informative and somewhat entertaining, the author continually disappoints me. She takes every opportunity to "toot" her own horn, and this is extremely distracting to the story. It is a real turn off from continuing with the book. I wanted to read it because I've always thought the idea of being able to grow your own food was fascinating, but she constantly name drops and say's she discovered this and she discovered that (not to mention she describes her husband has "handsome" on the first page)... I mean who really gives a hoot. Just tell up about the plants. Her personality really begins to irritate you after a while. Although I am still enjoying the book, I wish the author had shown some modesty.
