Review of "This Boy's Life: A Memoir" on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

I really liked Old School and in a way this is the prequel to that character. While this is a memoir and Old School is fiction I think there is resemblance. Its interesting how this books starts when Tobias and his mom cross the continental divide - they are on the runs from things back East. It basically ends with a return there. If you read Old School you kind of have an idea about where he is going to end up, but the getting there is the interesting part.

My favorite section is when he lies in the woods, so he can hear his friends search for him.
