review 1: In A California Childhood by James Franco, he talks about his life when growing up. He lived in Palo Alto California, his mother was an writer and actor and his father was a owner of a Silicon Valley business, he has two younger siblings, Dave and Tom. He grew up as kind of a trouble-maker, he got into trouble with the law for several things, like graffiti, stealing perfumes and underage drinking but he received a second chance from the judge. He just talks about stories through out his high school life. He talks about camps he went on and things he's done with his friends, whether they were bad or good. He later went to UCLA to pursue a career in English, but later dropped out because he realized he wanting to become an actor. His parents didn't support him so he got a jo... moreb at McDonalds and practiced on his accents with his customers.
review 2: An interesting look into the actor, artist, renaissance man. The book contains personal photos and stories from his childhood, also has his artwork displayed in a few pages, and then short fiction stories that leave you still trying to figure the enigma that James Franco is.I was surprised at the intimate family photos, his abstract art, but what really stunned me were his stories. I read them as easy as if the written word was being spoken and found a depth and profoundness to them that left this reader sinking deeper into meanings and what was the tale truly about.This would compliment any personal library. less
