The Life and Times of the Thunderboldt Kid by Bill Bryson


Rating 4/5

Rich and I listened to this book on our way down to North Carolina. It isn't one that I would normally pick for myself, but I really enjoyed it. I laughed out loud many times, when I wasn't nodding off to sleep. Bryson tells of his childhood in the 50's with a sense of humor. He describes the food, the toys and the traditions of the 50s. His description of his friend Milton Milton and his family was the funniest part of the book. Bryson describes each situation as someone looking back on their childhood, but from the eyes of a kid.

You ought to clarify that you were nodding off because it was 2am, not because it was boring!
