The Thunderbolt Kid Bill Bryson

The Thunderbolt Kid is something baby boomers will recognize. The author also wrote A Walk in the Woods, and the same great, sometimes hilarious, descriptive writing is found in both books. This one is the description of a boy growing up in the 1950's in Des Moines, Iowa. That's all I'm going to say, because I don't want to stop you from reading it. I liked it a lot.
