This is a fairly typical I don't know if I've been specifically targeting good reads subconsciously or if I've just been lucky that they're falling into my lap.

This is a fairly typical coming-of-age tale, which in this case includes vignettes on getting into fights, making and breaking friendships, girls and their potential for a horny young man, trying to be cool, cars, guns, etc and then some.

Published in '89, this feels a whole lot older. Probably because it mostly describes things that happened in the late '50s and early 60s. It reminds me a bit of A Christmas Story in that way, just more morbid.

Perhaps likening it the tv show "The Wonder Years" would be more to the mark. Yes, just think of the young Tobias as a more real, less Hollywood-chipper Kevin Arnold.

Wolff's prose is a joy to read. Every once in a while he lays down a sweet-ass line that makes ya go "hmmm". However, this is a particularly intimate memoir and there are a few intense moments that draw you right into the scene, making you hold your breath and possibly pray for a positive outcome.

That's quality writing. While I doubt this will be a five star book for everyone, Wolfe's writing style and the stories he told were utterly relatable in my mind.

The book felt familiar to me and some of the aspects of my own coming-of-age story. However, even readers who can't relate personally to the content should still be able to derive a good deal of enjoyment from it.

Life is a turkey shoot Yeah, you know, sometimes you shoot so well and win the turkey, sometimes you lose, and sometimes there isn't even any turkey.

You could try to be honest and keep your nose clean, but it doesn't guarantee anything. A screwed-up kid who lies, cheats, forges documents, drinks, and steals, not to mention damaging property, gets kicked out of schools, but winds up with a degree from Oxford, a nationally-famous writer and professor at one of the best universities.

He writes clea Life is a turkey shoot Yeah, you know, sometimes you shoot so well and win the turkey, sometimes you lose, and sometimes there isn't even any turkey.

He writes clear, strong prose that stays with you for a long time. Read this book or "In Pharaoh's Army" or some of his short stories.

This is the story of his teenage years, mostly in Washington state, in a town called Concrete. An absent father, a Pollyannaish mother, and an abusive stepfather all created a kind of hell on earth for Tobias Wolff.

But when you're that age, you're not sure. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. This is a book that doesn't excuse himself, it's just all there in black and white.

You could see the movie too, with Leonardo di Caprio in the title role, and with Robert de Niro as the abusive stepfather.

Ellen Barkin is lovely as the mother. But the book is far richer. Tobias never got to even compete in that turkey shoot way back then, but I reckon he got the prize in Life.

It's definitely an American classic along with his book on Vietnam. View 2 comments. Oct 05, J. Grice rated it really liked it Shelves: bio-memoir.

I loved the film and I also think it does justice to this fine book. Very poignant and engaging throughout. Jan 08, Kelly and the Book Boar rated it really liked it Shelves: read-in , non-fiction.

Sure Tobias Wolf had a shitty childhood, but when compared to other autobiographies Night stands out as the most monumental personal history I can think of, or even The Glass Castle as the most bizarre.

Those are books that must have begged to be written. Not only does he tell us about his stepfather, who was a real piece of work, but he is also honest about the fact that he was more than a handful himself during his formative years.

This book is so well-written and reads like fiction. A truly unforgettable coming-of-age story. Sidenote: The movie adaptation features a fresh faced young boy who will give us a glimpse of the brilliant career that is to follow.

Aug 28, Darwin8u rated it it was amazing Shelves: aere-perennius , Happiness is endless happiness, innocent of its own sure passing.

Pain is endless pain. IT was perfect in its pacing, its pitch. It was a beautiful, but unsentimental look at youth, poverty, family, and all the cracks and fissures that the world creates to swallow the dreams of youth.

Wolff's language still rings with me. I find myself, going back and reading whole passages of 'This Boy's Life' just to drink the language and the rub against the energy and charge of Wolff's vitality.

A good memoirist gets the reader to experience the artist's past life through his words, a great memoirist seduces the reader into a place where the reader suddenly recognizes the universal experiences in our shared lives.

There were parts of the book I felt like Tobias Wolff was not writing his history, but mine. The details of our lives might have been different, our stories might be adolescent antipoles, but I read Wolff and I think he has robbed me of my emotions, faked my youthful hope, slandered my stripling reputation, and squandered all of my schoolboy potential.

Despite not being able to put my finger on it, I found myself wanting to get back to it all the time. Not a reaction I typically have to memoirs by established authors.

The description of watching t. Sarah it's on your desk at work - thanks This Boy's Life is a memoir about the author Tobias Wolff.

Although, for most of this book he picks a different name-- Jack. I immediately got swept up in the life of Jack and his mother as they leave place after place, boyfriend after boyfriend.

We start as they leave from Florida to head to Utah and we quickly understand the instability of Jack's life.

Eventually she re-marries a crazy man named Dwight, who constantly is on some power trip and takes control of Jack's life. That is, until he takes it back.

I enjoyed this memoir-- it hit a point where I realized we were only getting a snippet of Wolff's life.

This book kept moving and we didn't move forward in Jack's life. I can understand spending this time developing Jack's rationale for some of his decisions and looking back to evaluate what impacted his life.

It just felt stuck for me towards the end, then a quick summary of what happened next didn't feel fluid as the rest of the book did.

I enjoyed the antics, but ultimately left unsatisfied. This book now struck a chord with all the gun violence and Nazi sentiments to this current point in our history.

It was an interesting juxtaposition given the environment today and history's cyclical performance. My first book by Mr.

Wolff and a peek into his juvenile life that made him successful today. May 09, Casey rated it really liked it Shelves: adults.

Tobias Wolff was a professor at Stanford. He was my friend Laurel's Italian partner. His friends called him Toby. He scared the bejesus outta me.

This is technically unfair, as I never once spoke to him or took one of his classes. I think it was the mustache that did it. It was a very intimidating mustache.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with the book, which I loved. I just thought you'd like to know. Well done. Honest story of how we must overcome our demons lest they consume us Mar 10, Helen rated it liked it.

This memoir would be overwhelmingly sad for me, had I not already read Old School by the same author and know that he becomes a successful author and teacher of literature at Stanford.

When the hard-scrabble life started to wear her down, she married a man who turned out to be selfish, mean, manipulative and vindictive. He falls in with the unruly kids and makes terrible choices.

But at the same time there is a bizarre innocence about him that simultaneously disappoints and endears. For instance, after scratching an unmentionable phrase on a bathroom wall, in his fervor to convince others of his innocence, he manages to convince himself as well.

At the same time you want to strangle him for his deceits, his lies are what ultimately save him. He completely fabricates an application to a private boarding school, where he goes on full scholarship; despite the fact that he is a very poor student with nothing to recommend him.

He is eventually expelled for poor grades, but while there he engages with a teacher or two who recognize that he is not lazy or stupid, but too far behind academically to keep up.

As the novel comes to a close, Wolff is headed off to war. Yet instead of ending there, the story flashes back to a time when he was, if not happy, at least hopeful.

Nov 19, Ned rated it really liked it. Read this back in , remembered it fondly but 4 stars since I somehow don't remember the plot very well. The movie ahead of the reading poisoned it somewhat methinks.

This is a very emotional and touching tale about a young boy growing up with a hopeless mother and an abusive step-father.

The author describes his childhood in ways that almost anyone can relate to. While you can feel the angst of the writer's plight, you can also laugh you tits off at the hilarity he chooses to make out of it in his later and wiser years.

It's impressive that this juvenile delinquent turned out to be such a famous writer. This novel was not only well written, it was a funny an This is a very emotional and touching tale about a young boy growing up with a hopeless mother and an abusive step-father.

This novel was not only well written, it was a funny and enjoyable read too. I would recommend it to anyone. Apr 28, Charles White rated it it was amazing.

This has to go straight to my favorites of all time. The prose is as generous and truthful as anything I've ever read. Oct 26, Cindy Knoke rated it it was amazing.

But the similarities go much further and deeper. Each author is a brilliant writer with an uncanny ability to recount his or her traumatic childhoods without self-pity.

They find in their chaotic childhood experience, grist for creative tour-de-forces, in each of these four memoirs. Tobias and Geoffrey Wolff are brothers.

Geoffrey is eight years older than Tobias. When their parents divorce, Geoffrey heads off to live with his father and Tobias goes with his mother.

Arthur Wolff was a Yalie, fighter pilot, and ersatz aviation engineer, who was also a vagabond, con-man, flim-flam-man, forger and alcoholic.

They move from place to place in continuous flight from debtors and jail. They end up in La Jolla, where I was born and living at the time, with my father named Arthur and brother named Jeffrey.

Arthur forges credentials and lands a job as an aeronautical engineer at General Dynamics, where my friends parents worked at the time.

Eventually Arthur is committed to a mental hospital and Geoffrey heads off to Princeton. I become more and more like him.

I felt trapped. As a therapist one of the most difficult things to get across to people is the concept that without significant insight and effort, one tends to possess the very attributes of their own parents that they most despise.

Geoffrey masters this in three short sentences. Tobias eventually ends up living in a town called Concrete Washington with a concrete, blockhead of a stepfather, who was a sadistic, martinet.

Eventually he escapes all this chaos into the relatively more predictable Vietnam War and training in the special forces. Tobias and Geoffrey meet up once, after a six-year separation in La Jolla, just before Geoffrey leaves for Princeton, after their father is institutionalized.

Tobias comes out by bus. I was younger at this time swimming at Windansea, right next to where they lived.

Geoffrey eventually goes on to receive his Ph. He has published numerous highly acclaimed books. He had two sons and married a Clinical Social Worker.

Holiday Picks. Wolff is a brilliant, immediate, unflashy writer. The film is thinner by comparison, but not awful.

They say great books make average films, and average books make great films. Maybe it's true in this case.

DiCaprio however is wonderful as a teenager and thought he did a better job than DeNiro. Really good movie very moving at times as well as being light hearted and comedic both the star characters give a great performance this is a brilliant dvd.

De Niro and Di Caprio make a great team in this film.
