If you're looking for a delightful escape into the simpler times of the '50s, "The Life And Times Of The Thunderbolt Kid" is like hopping into a time machine with Bill Bryson as your witty guide. His sharp humor and poignant observations will evoke a sense of nostalgia, while giving you an entertaining glimpse into his idiosyncratic childhood. This book is especially perfect for those who enjoy a blend of memoir and humor, wrapped in the warm, fuzzy blanket of Americana.
