review 1: Fred Thompson is the former Senator and Law & Order star who also ran for President in 2008. The memoir focuses mostly on his early years, with a few glimpses into more recent times. It is very engaging. He is open about making many mistakes and how his teachers, family, and friends helped him get past the stumbles to still work hard and succeed in life. Lots of humor and solid values. Overall a fun read.
review 2: A memoir of Fred Thompson's life growing up. A lot on his childhood and his time in school, not a lot about his acting or political career. He's as he is in print as he is when out and about, so the read was pleasant enough, but I'm not sure he's someone I needed to read a memoir about either.Then again, I say the same thing about nearly every memo
... moreir I read, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. less
