Helpful Score: 1

It took to me several tries to get through this book but I finally got through it. It's funny in parts. Poignant in others. And some parts were just not as interesting to me. Some anecdotes in the book are better written than others. The author doesn't write in chronological order. Some things are told out of order. She goes back and forth according to what the chapter is about.

This gives you a snapshot of a time in middle America when you could leave your doors unlocked when you went somewhere, when kids didn't sass back to adults, and when iPhones, computers, internet, cable television, video games, were unheard of. I have to admit that after I finished reading the book, I was glad I live in a city and in this decade.
