Book Reviews of The Amorous Busboy of Decatur Avenue: A Child of the Fifties Looks Back

Book Review: Wow! This Guy's Amorous
Summary: 4 Stars

[[0972338500-Galactically Speaking]]

Robert Klein's always been one of my favorite comedians. So, I figured his memoir, "The Amorous Busboy of Decatur Avenue" would be: a) funny and 2) about sex, which it was. What I didn't expect was that many of Klein's reminiscences about coming of age in the 50's, his Animal Housean college years and his early days as an actor and comic to also be heartfeld and poignant. Although times have changed, people of all generations can relate to the intial angst and uncertainty of wading, diving or, in Klein's case, dipping a cautious toe into the turbulent sea of sexual relationships. TABODA (pronouced TABODA) is an entertaining, pleasant break from the gloom and doom of modern day life.
