Book Reviews of Touch and Go: A Memoir
Book Review: Lovely and Touching
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a wonderful and interesting book, I enjoyed hearing about Studs growing up and living his life in Chicago. As a young Chicagoan, I didn't know much about Studs' history or career before reading this. The only part that is a bit difficult is that Studs tended to try to relate people and situations in his early years (the 1910s and 1920s) to a newer and assumedly more well known counterpart. As in Mr. X was really the Mr. Q of his generation. Which would be great if I had any idea who Mr. Q was. However, because even Mr. Q was a figure from the 1940s, it did little to help. I recommend reading near an Iphone or computer.
