The Memoirs of Bambi Goldbloom, Or, Growing Up in New Jersey: Or, Growing Up in New Jersey

A fast, funny read! I recommend it strongly

This is by far the funniest book I have read. The childhood memories that Linda Sunshine brings up makes me laugh, think of my best friends, and remember how hard it was to grow up, and how easy and carefree it seems now. I read this book all the time...over and over and over.

This book should have been a guide for women who grew up in the seventies. Linda Sunshine brings out the loser, worrier, pre-pubescent, pretencious git in all of us in a trulely loveable character who among other things was in love with Prince Charles, had a friend with a Mary Tyler Moore identity crisis, sent her father broke, and married solely to get her mother off her back. The character exerts the self-confidence of a lavishly-adorned princess, with the naivety of a sweepstake ticket-buyer who expects to win.The Memoirs of Bambi Goldbloom is a hilarious look at growing up a Jewish girl in New Jersey in the seventies - and from an Catholic growing up in Australia at the same time, it is a refreshing, and sometimes embarrassingly-familiar coming of age novel. A bloody good read!The life Bambi ends up with is certainly a surprise.
