This review originally appeared on my book review blog Feeding My Book Addiction: http://feedingmybookaddiction.blogspo... Smith's coming of age memoir takes readers on a journey of poverty and heartbreak that is the author's childhood and young adulthood growing up between the first and second world wars. Smith stays true to himself and his inner voice as he recounts the events of his early life. The narrative flow develops and ages, if you will, as he does throughout the book. It's incredibly powerful to see a precocious child harden under his circumstances and age into an adult set on escaping the ever looming workhouse and empty stomach that seemed to define his childhood. This is one of those memoirs that will stay with you long after you finish reading it because of the author's ability to put his life onto the page without holding back or sugarcoating the details. He digs deep into the infidelity of his mother, the shunning of his father, and the relationship he has with his sister that falls apart once they survived childhood and struck out on their own. I heard the sounds of dishes shattering on the kitchen floor and felt the weight of Smith's mother as he and his sister dragged her drunken and limp body from the curb into the house after a night spent at the bar. While reading, I did notice a few typographical and grammatical errors; however, Smith's life story was so powerful that I registered the errors and kept right on reading. Typically, typos, misspellings, and other grammatical mistakes jar me from the narrative and make me lose credibility in the author, but not in this case. I kept on reading, immersed in Smith's poignant and heartbreaking life to see if and how he would overcome every obstacle imaginable for a child. 1923: A Memoir is a compelling read that I would recommend to memoir and history lovers alike.

I'm glad to find new mystery writers from New Mexico with many books.
Great book; the language is beautiful. A masculine read. What touched me most was his personal insights and transformation.

While not quite as beloved as The Corrections, this novel adds yet another top-notch piece to Franzen's bibliography. He continues to excel at telling stories with seemingly simple plot lines, but I believe they only work because he is so good at developing characters. Each character is believable in the way they contribute to the revelation of the plot. Freedom proves that not even a happy ending is 100% happy, as it shouldn't be. There is a lot of pain and suffering, depression and disgrace in these pages. And yet, each character is lovable in their own way. Franzen's is a career that I will continue to follow.

My grandmom got me this book when I was little. The illustrations are really good. The story's not bad either. It's better than a lot of chidderbooks.
The Notebooks are contained within Time Enough for Love, but this is just the wonderful gems culled from the book. Lazarus is a riot and Heinlein is a genius.
