 A delight January 9, 2002
To all Joseph Heller fans this book will be a delight. A warming accout of a childhood in Coney Island, a young bombadier and a novelist.He tells us of real life events which are often mirrored in episodes from his novels.
 Mostly for Joseph Heller fans February 3, 2000

Not exactly a poorly written memoir, just fairly dull. Almost half is spent on Heller's happy (but relentlessly uneventful) childhood growing up in Coney Island during the late 1930s. The book picks up during the second half with Heller's experiences during the war and then returning to New York (of which, the last chapter about a teenage heroin addict is truely powerful,) but I found this book mostly a slog.
