Really enjoying this book. It's cool to hear how teenagers from back in 60's were speaking, especially these boys who were obsessed with writing and english. It's fun to see the same things kids struggle with today from their eyes.
What is your book? I agree, seeing history in color rather than black and white (pardon the terrible metaphor) is a refreshing experience. For example in Lyndon, an up-close and personal examination of Lyndon B. Johnson, I didn't feel that he was some mythical figure. Rather, the reader gets to see his colorful language and his unique personality.
