Everyone has a story or two that gets told around the dinner table on occasion, regardless of how often it's been heard or by whom. Sometimes these stories are funny, sometimes they're embarrassing, and often they border on the unbelievable. SuperMax is a collection of those stories, as told by an adult looking back on childhood. Though they are completely true, each of them comes across as a bit of a tall tale, complete with the humor, horror, and humiliation of growing up.
I came across this book after reading and enjoying Nearly Departed, the author's other book. I wasn't really sure what to expect, since this one was non-fiction, but was pleasantly surprised. The stories about growing up has been done before, but these were actually funny. I had several laugh out load moments and a lot of quiet chuckles. Definitely worth the read.
