"This book caught me off guard. I picked it up at the recommendation of a friend and was completely captivated. It paints a picture of the fifties that is completely at odds with everything I thought I knew."
"My favorite book, hadn't read it in years. Actually brought tears to my eyes this time. It's such a vivid portrayal of the world he grew up in, immensely inspiring."
"this book was actually pretty interesting. i thought it was going to be another boring summer reading book but i can see how people can relate to this book"
"A great old memoir. It's still fresh over forty years later, which is a positive reflection of the skills of the author and a negative reflection of the society he discusses."
