This review is from: King of the Hill: A Memoir (Paperback)

Coming of Age autobiography of Hotchner as a 12 year old boy in St. Louis during the depression. Great, sad stories told perfectly. If you like this - read Bad Boy by Jim Thompson & Bound For Glory by Woody Guthrie - both take place at the same time & are equally adventuresome & sad.

I recommend this book to anyone looking for good reading. Hotchner is able to hold your attention throughout the story. He makes the 1930's a pleasure to be a part of.
