Recommended for: Iowans of a certain age.

This is the first book I've read by Bryson and I do intend to read a couple more.

The Thunderbolt Kid is wildly funny, a simple memoir of Bryson's childhood in Des Moines in the 1950s. Oddly enough, change comes slowly to Iowa and I could relate to much of his experience and sentiment having spent my own Iowa childhood in the 1960s.

Carol Read A Walk in the Woods. I laughed so hard reading that book. I think you'd enjoy it.


Barbara I loved A Walk in the Woods but I got it on audio and I think it was great to listen to.
