Boy: Tales of Childhood by Roald Dahl
Destiny's review
rating:
Roald Dahl has such an easiness in his writing. It makes for pleasurable reading. It also makes me wish that I could be a writer some day. Even though he's best known for his children's stories, I've been discovering that I enjoy his non-fiction works as much, if not more.
Boy was a wonderful memoir of childhood. It made me think about my own childhood a bit. At first I was envious that I hadn't done anything nearly as exciting--but then I realized that a lot of what was interesting was the way that Dahl related mundane events.
There are a few chapters that I think I'd read over and over again, just for the imagery and feeling.
