Jim Chambers

Storyline:

In this book, Jim Chambers shows us the views of the Fifties as he remembers them. It was a fun book for me as I am all about the 50's.

Story Characters:

Jim is a likable guy. His short stories are definitely fun to read and I always enjoy reading first hand accounts of experiences and eras.

Writing Style:

While I enjoyed the book, it was a bit fragmented and difficult to follow. Jim Chambers writes about many different topics and tends to jump from one to the other and back all in three paragraphs. I would suggest he either write chapters based solely on one topic or write it as a "101 Things I Remember From the 50's" style. The way it is currently written, while the observations and good and funny, distracts you from really absorbing everything he is saying.

Editing Style:

In terms of spelling and grammar, nothing screamed out at me in terms of being incorrect. I just wish there was better organization.

Overall Thoughts:

It was a fun book to read if you want a peep show into the 50's. If it gets cleaned up and gets a new cover, it wouldn't be that bad.… (mais)
