Book Reviews of This Boy's Life: A Memoir
Book Review: beautifully written & unsentimental reminicense
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderfully, clearly, and well written rememberance of Wolff's growing up with his mother. It has the ability to both see clearly but without undue sentiment at the inner struggles of being a young adult in the 50's.
Be sure to read his brother Geoffrey's account of growing up with their father "The Duke of Deception"
