Reviews

[David Ward · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fireworks by George Plimpton (Doubleday 1984)(662.1). Plimpton, the eternal dilettante, apprenticed with an extended family of pyrotechnic exhibitionists. He had a great time making things explode. He took us along for the fun, and it was a hoot! My rating: 7/10, finished 2002.

BOOM. CRASH. AHH. WOW.

It must've been great to be George Ames Plimpton and I think this even more so after reading his ode to fireworks.
