The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid
I have read most of Bill Bryson’s works and love his dry sense of humor, originality, and cultural insights. I also love his delivery (having previously listened to A Walk in the Woods), so I decided to check out from my local library the audio version of his recent memoir. I have never enjoyed my daily commute so much; his details of life growing up in Des Moines, Iowa during the 1950s are not only hilarious, but also surprisingly informative. If you’re a Bill Bryson fan, interested in American history, or looking for a great way to distract yourself from the countless frustrations encountered while driving in rush hour on an interstate highway in New Jersey, I highly recommend this fun-filled autobiography.
I totally want to read this! My boyfriend read it recently and could not stop laughing the whole time. A Walk in the Woods is one of my favorites.
