Hitchens fascinates with the life he has lived and observed and, as always, relates his story with precision and consideration."- Bill Cusamano, Nicola's Books "The most erudite and astute political and social commentator of this era has written a memoir that not only give the reader a view of the man behind the words but also a perceptive look at society over the past decades. "In this frank, often wickedly funny account, Hitchens traces his evolution as a fiercely independent thinker and enemy of people who are convinced of their absolute certainty. Hitchens paints a credible and even affecting self-portrait."- The New Yorker
"As contemptuous, digressive, righteous, and riotously funny as the rest of the author's incessant output, this memoir is an effective coming-of-age story, regardless of what one may think of the resulting adult. His perspective on becoming an American citizen is refreshing at a time when it's easy to become jaded about our role in the world.- Mark Rahner, The Seattle Times Christopher Hitchens' memoir has the same nerve and frankness that first made me admire him.
