Joe Boy

The Good Old Days, very funny This book will be enjoyed by anyone that lived in small town America during the 30's, 40's, 50's, and the early 60's. It lets your mind wonder back in time when life was much simpler. Those were the days when children made up their own entertainment, which like Joe Boy ended up being a lot of adventures. I will definitely put Joe Boy on my shopping list for gifts to buy for anyone growing up during this time period

Couldn't put it down

This is a great book for the summer, a quick and funny read. Perfect for the beach, gym or a weekend getaway. I loved it! I started it and found I couldn't put it down. The true stories of this man's youth is an example of how so many Americans lived during the 1930's and 40's. It's amazing he survived. Really funny tales and quality descriptions make it seem like you are sitting across the table from this guy over dinner. I hope there will be a part two!
