Comment On Of Books Growing Up

Growing becomes a bit slow pasted and boring. and it made it harder to read. Of course, I am not a big fan of nonfiction books so reading this didn't make me really excited for the story. Russel explains every detail of his life but sometimes nothing really interesting happens. so its bad in that way.The book tells a great story about a kid that grew up in the middle of depression in us. IT shows the challenges he had to overcome and he became a journalist. The humor is great but in the middle

This is an autobiography by Russell Baker that actually begins before he was born. In truth it's as much a biography of his mother as it is about him growing up during the depression, attending college against all odds, becoming a pilot while the second world war comes to a conclusion, becoming a newspaper man, meeting the love of his life against his mother's approval and so on...life is a poignant struggle made all the more extraordinary by just how ordinary it was.

So this reads kind of like an episode of Seinfeld. I wont say its about nothing, but if you expect big cosmic revelations youre going to be disappointed.As can happen with a book

If you are going to write an autobiography, it helps to live through an interesting time. Russell Baker did. He was born in 1925. He was a kid during the Great Depression. He was a young man during World War II. I cannot think of a sweeter set-up for a life full of stories. Yet nothing interesting ever happened to him!With the exception of a few mild characters he met along the way, his formative years were not remarkable. After reading Growing Up, I can see why. Baker took no interest in the

The memoir, Growing Up written by an outstanding author named Russel Baker, takes the readers to a nostalgic journey of his life as a curious young boy living in the rural Virginia to a determined writer. The memoir starts from a scene of his eighty years old mother (lying down in the hospital bed); despite being an energetic women in the early days and being a strong advocate of feminism, she has grown old and become senile. By looking at his senile mother, Russel recognizes human infirmity and
