Boy: Tales of Childhood by Roald Dahl
5.0
It's rare that I read a book that I would describe as "charming." Even more rare is that I like that book. But Roald Dahl's Boy has charm in spades, and damn I enjoyed it.
Mr Dahl's memoir tells a series of stories from his earliest memories to his employment in Africa by Shell Oil. And through all of it, his strong, sure voice shines through. It's as if you are sitting next to Mr Dahl, sharing a drink and listening to him spin stories all night long.
When I closed the book, it was with some regret: I definitely want more. I know there is a sequel out there. I'll have to hunt it down.
