Jon Stewart plugged this book at the end of an episode of The Daily Show a month or two ago, as he does for most books his correspondents write. Good for her, I thought. I never expected to read it. Then this review from The AV Club came out in which they gave it an A. So I decided to give it a shot.
While it starts out a little slow, most of the stories in the second half are amazing. It made me count my lucky stars that my upbringing was relatively normal compared to hers. You probably will too. Unless you stole cars or something.
Did you steal cars? Shame on you. This was an enjoyable summer read.
