Review # 1 was written on 2018-10-18 00:00:00 Ivan Jovanov i read this book to fulfil the goal read a book by a local author. mel watkins grew up on the south side of youngstown. it is a memior of how he rose abouve his circumstance of race and poverty and went on to attend college. it takes place in the early 60's but i imagine a lot of his feelings would be the same today. i am proud to say that my son doesn't see race, but may others in the neighborhood still do. it was certainly a differant book than i would have chose to read normally, but it was informative and wasn't bad. it taught me a lot.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-12-31 00:00:00 DE Red My admiration for the author knows few, if any, limits. Incredibly accomplished despite all odds against him, Watkins has written a mesmerizing memoir that reads more like a beautifully written and very engaging novel. Hard to point down. The former editor and writer of the NY Times Book Review, Mel Watkins memoir is, in a word, memorable.
