Book Reviews of Things I Didn't Know: A Memoir
Book Review: Just enjoy
Summary: 4 Stars
There are a number of literate reviews here. I have no desire to compete with them. I will just say this is a thoroughly enjoyable book. Hughes writes in an informal style that mixes mate speak with with a passionate and articulate love of art. He is relatively honest and frank about his life without descending into the tasteless. He is an elitist but not a snob. As one who lived through the sixties I think he describes the decade in an accurate if somewhat withering way. If you are looking for a book that is well written and generally a joy to read I would highly recommend this.
