another great story

Revisado: 06-03-24

the narrator is always fantastic. the story was interesting. I don't think the dates work out, because I don't think either Walt or Henry are 80+ years old, but that's the magic of fiction

not much of an ending

movie was better. hard to believe that the drug made you smart when all he did was dumb stuff.

it's an amazing story

Revisado: 02-26-24

at times the story seemed formulaic. ripped off by promoters, endless touring,etc. but it stayed away mostly from drugs and alcohol, noting he had quit drinking by the time his diabetes got bad. also the author was enamored by the idea that BB was sterile, and could not have fathered the children he claimed in life.

Steve Martin as you always hoped he would be

Revisado: 02-11-24

This book is conversations between Gopnick and Steve that discuss Steve's career arcs from magician to comedian to movie star to writer to musician and to art collector. it's charming and open and smart. I really enjoyed it.

surprisingly moving

prince Harry grew up with many advantages but hie lost his mother to relentless press, and his father was distant. he was sent off to boarding school shortly after his mother died. after he graduated, he joined the army in a combat position until his location was leaked by the press. as a result, he had to leave his unit, but he stayed in the army learning to fly helicopters. again the press leaked his location and he could no longer fly. the press hounded him and his girlfriends. later he learned that. much of the bad press he and his wife received was based on reports from his own father. ugh

good yarn with some good curves, very hard boiled noir, with 1930s gangster vibes. Hardly any law in it... so not a trial story. fun, but nothing like Raymond Burr.

I loved everything about this one

Revisado: 06-11-20

and that doesn't happen often. the sketch of the author's father and friends, college life, and the New Yorker. a wonderful portrait of a father who fought for his son.

meh!

Revisado: 06-10-20

story flips between an English girl and a German girl and their war experiences. clearly written by someone who wasn't there. might have been better if shorter, by half. the characters were cookie cutter symbols. I did finish it, but not without skipping chapters in the last half. if only I had skipped chapters in the first half. but I did finish it, so that's something.

meh. nothing like Craig Johnson.

Revisado: 05-28-20

glacier Park is a bit player in this story. the main character is unappealing, *haunted by a tragedy* from when he was 14. ending is unsatisfying. not interested in the pooping habits of grizzly bears
