Status Updates From Little Wilson and Big God

Let's Do It. Almost 450 pages book. Not much interested in reading autobiography. The bio of Carl Jung whom I like was DNFed for his rants on the religion .And this book has already a word God in its title.
Really? Out of 7 books that are lying here and there and ready to be picked up by me, I choose this. I don't even know who the author is.
So, it has got all components that I could not ask for. A true combo!

Much as I am enamoured of AB's prose style and literary voice, I found the first 75% of this book to be overlong and quite dull. The story of his childhood, young years and war time, while essential to understand his character, is too long and over detailed. One senses that no effort was made to "cut back" here, rather like things had to be extended over two volumes.
