A Lifetime in Every Moment

Rating:
Summary: "A Lifetime In Every Moment," is an absolute gem.
Review: Hollywood, where are you? The autobiography of Joseph F. Littell would indeed make a stupendous film. Ron Howard, Tom Hanks, are you out there? This is an exciting and provocative literary work, offering insights into the life of an extraordinary man, not to mention, it is of historical significance. The book deals with Mr. Littell's youthful experiences in pre-Mao China, as the son of a missionary. His compelling and very much life threatening misfortunes on the front lines in World War II, at the Battle of the Bulge, and an existence, that no one should have to endure in a Nazi POW camp, make for a truly thrilling adventure. This is a very open and honest narrative of a boy , who grew up in a dysfunctional family, overcoming extreme hindrance, to create and become the head of a very successful publishing entity. Not to downplay the seriousness of this epic, it also contains a bit of that sardonic Littell wit, that can be more fully appreciated in his earlier works (i.e. "The Man Who Found the Loch Ness Monster," from New World Publishing). "A Lifetime In Every Moment," by Joseph F. Littell, is very much a definitive compendium of survival and success over evidential adversity. It is a book that you won't want to put down, as one chapter compels you to read the next, in eager anticipation of the cliff-hanger style outcome of each of these events. It is a great story and certainly a worthy addition to any literary collection. There is something here for all, young and old. Read it and learn. In closing, I reiterate, Hollywood, where are you?
