After I read it, I started writing. I've written about 7 essays about events that no one would have ever known. It was fun. I ordered two more copies for my brothers.

I offered to lead a group once a week at my house. Each person writes an episode each week and reads it to the others. 25 bought the books and it makes for a fun time. Ages range from early 60's to 90 and we are all neighbors.

Extremely helpful book in helping you to write about your own life. Helps you to organize your thoughts, etc.

This was written in the era before internet and modern technology (okay the late 1980s) but it has a lot of good stuff and examples to emulate in writing. This is a must have!

Delivered as promised - except early (which is good).

Cover cleaner than pictured. A few unobtrusive underlinings but not a disappointment. I was expecting it might exist. I'm very happy with the product.

I had already written and published my life story some years ago, with the help from this book by Frank Thomas recommended by a life writing class I attended. For that reason, I purchased this copy of his book for a friend who wanted to write her life story.

excellent source for life story writers
Reviewed in Canada on October 11, 2014Verified Purchase
Though many years have passed since this book was written
most of it is relevant today and very useful in assisting with the life story writing process.
It functions well as source material for group situations.
