Summary: President Jimmy Carter writes yet another wonderful book....
Comment: Any of you that have the chance to read this book, please do. It is about President Carter's childhood in Rural Georgia growing up. It tells about his entire family, his growing up/ and around black families working his father's land, and all the black friends he made early in life, and the wonderful influence they had on him throughout his life. It tells about how they planted, worked from dawn till dark with the "earth". If you are from the City, you especially need to read this book. It is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. I am super-impressed with it, and I have once again, learned things I never knew, I just love books that teach me, and this one has. There are so many parts in this book that will simply make you smile, some parts that will make you feel badly, and many parts that will teach you things. I really enjoyed every page of this book. I especially like books that teach, keep me happy while reading them, where I can't stand to lay them down, and where I actually hate for the book to end. This is one of those wonderful, wonderful books. This book is also so very easy to read, not filled with all those fat-filled words that so many writer's enjoy writing. This book is written for plain people, for all to enjoy. In my opinion, this book deserves a Pulitzer for Literature, because it has everything a book should have.

Summary: A President Comes of Age.
Comment: Using a journalist's eye, and introspect's heart, Jimmy Carter tells a warm and compelling tale of the times, places and people who shaped his life.
Humbly examining the elements of his youth, Jimmy Carter recounts his earliest impressions of segregation, politics, and life and death.
Jimmy Carters style is natural and compelling, and his honest appraisal of his families past is both frank and welcoming.
Clearly a man of great humilty, Jimmy Carter appraises his actions in the face of racism, expressing both pride and regret, he never blames his failings on anyone, or anything, but his own lack of understanding.
In the latter chapters of this book, Jimmy Carter closes in on his incompleted relationship with his stern but loyal father - a relationship that both shaped and confounded him.
This book is a wonderfully paced read, with the selfeffacing warmth of a Jean Shepherd tale wrapped around the sepia toned history of one of America's greatest living leaders. This is a great read.
