Rating: Summary: Praise for An American Child Supreme Review: LA Times 7/22/01 "Nichols is a God-forsaken mountain of American conflict, spriritual doubt, political duality and gender confusion. Like a pioneer, he keeps lighting out the territory ahead of the rest, gets lost in the desert and comes up the hills....This memoir, this credo, reveals a tender, overprotected rich kid growing up on 600 Long Island acres that had been in his family since the 1700s....Some time after college, his best friends took off for Guatemala, dragged him down for a visit and politicized the hell out of him. That was 1964, and he was 24. It was the best thing and the worst thing that could have happened to John Nichols."Colorado Springs Independent 7/5/01 "Nichols is a masterful storyteller, full of the humor that springs from honesty, and this is one of those books you begin to wish would not end after you've read the first 10 pages."
Rating: Summary: Praise for An American Child Supreme Review: The book delves into some very important issues, but skips over much of the biographical stuff and early memories I was hoping for. Over 50 pages of this already short book are just a listing of his previously published articles. In this case, the cover of the book is just a little bit misleading.
