Best known for being an Oscar-winning filmmaker, a bestselling author, and one of the nation’s most outspoken malcontents, Michael Moore provides an in depth perspective of his life in, Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life ($26.99 Grand Central ISBN 9780446532242).

The book takes the reader on a humorous, and at times heartfelt, zigzagging timeline through Mr. Moore’s life: one moment, reliving the childhood games of ‘war’ (Americans vs. Nazis) where young Michael was particularly good at dying and a coveted playmate because of his collection of faux-grenades – and the next moment, remembering the experience of seeing real ‘War’ (Vietnam) for the first time on television. War, isn’t playtime; after seeing the aftermath in body counts and psychological damage, young Michael and his friends put away their toy guns … and started thinking about more serious things, like girls and the fact that they were eventually going to be of ‘draft’ age. Mr. Moore’s talent for evoking emotional responses (an extremely desirable trait when showcasing virtually every medium of art) is wielded without bias as he speaks of his own vulnerabilities, all the while his words cut with sharp wit and unexpected charm.
