With this fluffy little book, as indeed with all her projects, she seems determined to knock over as many sacred cows as she can lay her hands on--and have a jolly good time, to boot! Good for her. But Enough is Enough, a slim volume of jocular ripostes interspersed with Finley's childlike line drawings, is the most standard and facile anti-establishment fare imaginable...
