Chrissy emailed me on March 31 apparently and asked that I write about the book I'd recommended for the book club and to do it by tomorrow. Well, since I often avoid the computer at all costs on weekends and didn't check it Thursday either, you're getting this today ☺ Sorry ladies.
When I read her email, I questioned that I had recommended this book because I'd never read the book. Then I remembered that it had been recommended to me, so I put it on the list to read.
LUCKILY - I did read it. I had some extra time recently and decided to read ahead on the other books. So I can now say that yes, I would recommend The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid.
This comical autobiography of his growing-up years in Iowa in the 1950's is quite entertaining. It's full of funny stories, interesting facts, and honest experiences that people go through when growing up. I found I was able to relate to it, even if I was born in the 80's. It ends with, what I think, is a very good conclusion about the past, and today.
So strap on your Hero Cape, and get ready to laser beam those who disturb your reading, and enjoy the book!
