"MacNeil begins this story of his life by recounting the memory of being snugged in on a cold night on the coast of Novia Scotia, he wearing his pajamas and plaid flannel robe, a fire crackling, and his mother reading to him and his brother. I fell for this book on the first page and I couldn't leave it go until it was totally consumed a couple of days later. Not grandiose, just a well written remembrance of how and why Robert MacNeil became enamored of language."
"I really enjoyed this book. His story seems storybook perfect where he has a naval captain, stern father, books everywhere, loving family, didn't wear his first long pants until he was twelve. ?! Very worthwhile read."
