"LIke most books, it was way better than the movie. I read it while I was working and traveling in New York, and found myself laughing out loud on the train surrounded by strangers. The images are so vivid."
"If you love the movie as much as I do, you have to read this book. It's so cool to see how true to the actual essays the movie was and the four in this book are the basis for the entire movie. I read it every Christmas time."
"I wish that I had read the book before I saw the film. Isn't that a constant refrain among readers? Anyway, I was sorting through books setting aside a mound of them to take to the Friends of the Library used book sale when I came upon this little jewel. I couldn't bear to give it away without reading it one more time. Ah, the memories. This good is a collection of some of Jean Shepherd's autobiographical writings that have been collected from a variety of sources. The tales of a boy growing up in a small town in Indiana during the Depression enlighten, amuse, and make one long for a somewhat simpler time. Who could every forget the discovery that a Little Orphan Annie decorder ring is really a gimmick to see more Ovaltine. That realization will make you distrust marketing forever. Also, the hilarious pitched battle between the husband and wife over the leg lamp won in a contest. But, of course, my favorite is the tale of the Red Ryder carbine action 200 shot range model air rifle that is the core of the story. "You're going to shot your eye out, kid." A wonderful book. I'm not sure that it's going to the used book sale. I might need to keep it for a while."
