| 3. |  | Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood
from Pantheon
Price: $10.36
Customer Review:
I have seen many reviews of this graphic autobiography/memoir on various blogs, but it wasn't until I read one that suggested that Persepolis was similar to the Maus books by Art Spiegelman, that I finally decided to check it out from the local library. I read both Maus I and Maus II in college,... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from St. Martin's Paperbacks
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
First off let me state that the first half of this book was well written. When you get to the middle of the book it goes straight downhill. I really didn't need to experience the vivid details of his first gay experience. I don't care in what fashion it has to do with this bizarre story, and if the... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid: A Memoir
from Broadway
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
Bryson's "Thunderbolt Kid" does more to recapture the pure fun of an American boyhood
in the mid-West of the 50s than any memoir you can think of. He reminds you of the view
from about 4 feet high, and the excitement of "going downtown" when there were downtowns
to go to. Read it! | 4.5 / 5.0

Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood
I read a review of this autobiography which raised my interest. But after reading fully two-thirds of the book, I was disheartened at the racist attitude of nearly all of the significant white characters in the book: her mother, father,... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Thorndike Press
Price: $25.56
Customer Review:
A very touching story of growing up and having to face the harsh realities of life. Bernstein's writing is simple and easy to follow, yet draws you right into the story and clearly shares the feelings and emotions he faces (as if you were right there with him). Very insightful and eye-opening. It's... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

A Child's Christmas In Wales CD: And Five Poems
Hurrah! Now I won't have to wait for the radio to play Dylan Thomas reading his wonderful Child's Christmas every Christmas. Truly a beautiful recording of the other poems as well. | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Easily Bryson's funniest work, imo. To reduce the chance of choking or spitting up food on a friend, don't read this while eating. It's that darn funny. The audio version, which Bryson reads, is even funnier. | 4.5 / 5.0
