Mr. Fleischman relates to readers his eclectic childhood and young adult life which shaped him as a writer. I really enjoyed learning how specific life experiences later inspired and influenced particular published writings. His life proclaims that no experience is wasted. Rich content and the best ideas lie in one's own life.
I was expecting more direct writing advice for young writers, but the book was more about his life with ideas woven into his narrative.
As an adult reader, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about his adventures. I am not sure how many kids will voluntarily read this book.
