Knots in My Yo-Yo String

I have to say that I enjoyed reading Jerry Spinelli's little book (148 pages) and was reminded of a simpler time, when summer never seemed to end, and there was Bonomo's Turkish Taffy and Hopalong Cassidy, and everyone lived in a house with only one bathroom and one telephone and one TV...and, lest I forget, only one car per family. Memories of my own childhood came back to me with every short chapter (each was only a few pages long). I won't compare it to Bill Bryson's humorous book about his growing up in Iowa during the 50s entitled THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE THUNDERBOLT KID. My experiences were closer to those of Mr. Spinelli's, having grown up in urban Irvington, NJ. But both books were entertaining, and will probably be appreciated more by adults in the 50 to 60-something age bracket. I do recommend them highly.
