Summary: Some of the Funniest Stuff Out There...
Review: Steve White is one of the most laugh-out-loud, funniest writers I've ever read. Funnier than Sedaris, funnier than Eggers, more from the heart, I guess. I'm surprised this book isn't a bestseller. Oh well. Looks like a small publisher. Not in "the machine" yet...but get this book and keep an eye on THIS Steve White. A fantastic read, made me laugh out loud and brought a tear to my eye in a few places.

Summary: Laughter is the Best Medicine
Review: There's something for everyone in this hysterical book taken from his life. Steve has a unique talent for re-telling special moments each family shares with such humor and familiarity that we all can relate our own encounters in one way or another. And even if his anecdotes are beyond anything you can imagine, his knack for pulling you into his stories will make you laugh out loud over and over again. This book is a great escape into the light hearted, enjoyable realm where we all could use a good dose of laughter! Also a great gift idea for the people on your list who have everything! ENJOY!

Summary: Wow! It will make you laugh out loud!
Review: This book could not come out at a better time in view of the Sept. 11 tragedies. It took me back to the vinyl seats of our family station wagon, aggravating my sisters, and hoping the car top carrier would survive my dad's ineffective knot tying. Steve White reminds us of those golden moments of childhood; that they are still there and still possible. This would be a great book for all ages, especially the young at heart!

Summary: You will recognize your own past among the pages of this boo
Review: This book reminded me of a later day Lake Woebegone Days, but set in the midwest and reminiscing about growing up as an adolescent in the 70's and 80's. The stories range from amusing, whimsical, touching and outright hilarious. The book snuck up on me, really drawing me in deeper as it went along.This would make an excellent "book club" book for women to read and discuss about how and why their husbands turned out the way they did. It will also make an excellent gift for adult siblings to give to each other, as they will surely recognize their own history among these pages. All in all, it's a book that you will want to pick up and re-read favorite stories as time goes by.

Summary: Steve really loves his family. A great read!
Review: We should all have a childhood like Steve White did. In Family Vacations and Other Hazards of Growing Up, White, who has the heart of a giant, refelects on growing up in a magical way few are able. His tales of humor, excitment and sensitivity touch at the core of our emotions. White takes what are the simplest of joys for children and makes us realize, "Why should kids only have fun?" From his entire chapter on Peanut Butter and Jelly, which is my favorite lunch food, as well, to how he annoyed his sisters, to the love he has for his parents, a brilliant reprint of a high school essay about his mom, he teaches us first hand: it is the little things that count. Steve makes us wonder more than ever: Why do we wait until we are grown up to appreciate the joy of childhood? 5 stars all the way!
