Title: Great Fun
Review: This was a fun and nostalgic read. Although Vance is "just a little" older than I am I sure experienced some "blast from the past" type feelings as I read the book. Vance has a real way with words, descriptive and informative. It was a little sad to remember how it was growing up in the 40s and 50s and knowing it will never be as innocent as it was then, whether you lived in a big city, small town or a "really small" town such as he did. Basketball was king in much of the Midwest and social events were pretty tame. And most of us had similar relationships with our parents . . . they were the adults and we were the kids and never the twain met yet there was enormous unspoken love that crafted us into who we are.
