Mary D. (readstoclem) reviewed on 8/21/2006 + 118 more book reviews

Both hilarious and painful, the true story of a man who returned to his place of birth with a strong accent, bad teeth, eye disease, and no education past the age of 14. He had rather go to war than continue his job at a swank hotel (where he had to make up a phone number message from the garbage) and that lead to the GI Bill. This is a wonderful story of making it in America.
