Book Reviews of In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash
Book Review: The real Ralphie
Summary: 5 Stars
The Fourth of July and Other Disasters. That was the title when I first saw a PBS(?) run version of Ralphie's life back in the mid 1970's. My family still jokes about the characters they used in that production, and we were delighted when A Christmas Story came out. Anyone who enjoys satire and a good laugh will like this book. It's always good to find a book that isn't based on the "meaner" side of life.Book Review: Very good stories
Summary: 5 Stars
Some say they remember these stories in Playboy. I remember them all from his radio show on WOR in New York before the book was published. He was a great storyteller, sort of the Howard Stern of his day, in a way. In a more innocent time, maybe. I don't know why he retired, but I suppose he must get some satisfaction in having written a Christmas classic.Book Review: Satire of Middle America at It's Best
Summary: 5 Stars
Jean Shepherd really knows what he's talking about. This book is a wonderful satire of life in Middle America; it will bring back many memories, even if you didn't live in the Midwest. I had a smile on my face the whole time I read it, that is when I wasn't laughing too hard to smile.Book Review: You can go home again
Summary: 5 Stars
This book took me back, an interesting assortment of characters who shaped the time(s) and town(s) we all grew up in. From the school yard bully to the nosey neighbor to the town oddities, they are all there. You'll remember things from that time that you thought you forgot.Book Review: Flick lives........
