2.0 out of 5 stars Mostly for Joseph Heller fans, 3 Feb 2000
By A Customer
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.
