An amazing book
By hannahmg42962645@aol.com
This Boy's Life is the memoir of a boy's, sometimes typical, sometimes unique, adolescence. The text is written sparingly, yet richly which makes it a powerful read. Wolff has created a world in which we see though the eyes of the youth in the trauma of his own childhood, growing up in a difficult family situation in America in the 1950s. Having watched the film version, staring Robert DeNiro, Ellen Barkin and Leonardo DiCaprio I found, although a great film, that it isn't as great as the book. A warm account from an excellent author. Read it.

A captivating tale of an escape from poverty
By A customer
Tobias Wolff remained with his financially unsupported mother after his parents' divorce, stuck in the sticks at Concrete High School. Through an audacious act of forgery, he won acceptance to an exclusive prep school and Ivy League university. He subsequently became a university professor, and his book's articulate prose reflects his educational achievements. Especially memorable are his retelling of a friendship with an effeminate but pugnacious classmate and his account of finding a patron who purchased for him the new wardrobe necessary for hobnobbing with the upper classes who inhabit the east coast of America. As a published memoir writer, I can wholeheartedly recommend this work as a superior example of the genre.

His feeling is numbness; his story is just 'what is'
By T. WHITFIELD
I loved this book and devoured it. You will know that feeling well, I hope. The delectable stories that define periods of your life. This was one such book.I have browsed through some of the negative reviews of this text, and the criticisms contained within pertain to three points, which I shall attempt to redress here.1. "I was set this book for my english high school course and it's rubbish"Unfortunately, set-texts are often this way. At the end of the day, I fully appreciate how being forced to read a book that you have no interest in whatsoever may render the text lifeless, dull, and a chore. That said, most reading this review (perhaps to decide if 'This Boy's Life' is worth reading) will not be in this position; it is to those readers that I appeal to when addressing the criticisms that have been levied.2. "The book has no feeling in it"I concede that Tobias Wolff seems somewhat emotionless at times. His hollow style verges on numb. Yet this is just exactly what makes him interesting to read... he is honest about his experiences, his apparent nonchalance in the face of culpability, and his apparent detachment from certain others around him. Yet these qualities all make perfect, sound sense. Furthermore, I feel the same as he does, and respect him for speaking so frankly. His honesty slices away the prettiness that we all like to wear around our raw edges, and this makes Wolff's book actually worth reading.3. "The book has no story or narrative, it's just this happened then that happened"Again, this reviewer's point is justified - this is indeed Wolff's style, his story. Yet, again, I find no fault in this at all. Rather, I feel it is a strength, and supports the meaning within the story stoically. Honestly, how many of our lives have followed a clear narrative? How many of our lives have progressed neatly and interestingly from A to B to C? Very few indeed, I believe.Yet Wolff's story remains captivating. The events he describes had me laughing and heartaching... often together at the same time. His life is real and raw and true... I feel that I can forgive it not following a tidy line of progression, as what it is is more than good enough.Please, give this book a chance, and remember to be open to 'What is.'Tim
