Memories...like the corner of my mind...
I read this in a few days on a summer family vacation, the year before I went to college and it was such a page turner, I couldn't put it down!!
Honestly, it was a feeling I could never forget, and still remember it decades later. In fact, I think this was one of my inspirations to achieve that kind of prose and to find a way to write in a way to allow all of our emotions to co-mingle, but let the laughter and the humor shine through the most.
Sadly, like so many movies, I was disappointed since they never do the book justice, but I still think Mr. Topor's storytelling is phenomenal!!! :)
