Bill Bryson looks back over his childhood in Des Moines in the 1950s and 1960s. He reminisces about his family life, going to school, or not going to school, and playing with different friends.
A few chapters cover the politics of the times and the current news events.
He was the Thunderbolt Kid who tried to illiminate people who annoyed him.
I didn't enjoy this book as much as I have enjoyed other travel books by Bill Bryson. I have read:
Notes from a Big Country
Notes from a Small Island
A Walk in the Woods
Down Under
and I have A Short History of Nearly Everything on my bookshelf.
