From the beginning, MacLane's writing was characterized by a direct, fiery, highly individualistic style. At the age of 19 in 1901, MacLane wrote her first book, titled by its author "I Await the Devil's Coming" but changed by its publishers to "The Story of Mary MacLane". It sold 100,000 copies in the first month and was powerfully influential on young women. Some critics have suggested that even by today's standards, MacLane's writing is raw, honest, unflinching, self-aware, sensual, and extreme. She wrote openly about egoism and her own self-love, about sexual attraction and love for other women, and even about her desire to marry the Devil.

Mary Maclane is pretty insufferable. She is pretentious, self-absorbed and immature. I admit that I was occasionally entertained but overall this book was a slog.
