On Jul 7 2007, Achowalogen said:
James Thurber combines his humor veiled with his in depth reflection of his life. He makes the reader think about not only the author's life, but the reader is led to a reflective analysis on the reader's own life. Although the times are different, the modern reader can easily relate and connect the events and situations within MY LIFE AND HARD TIMES that can easily link to modern day sitatuions. An excellent memoir for reflextion and enjoyment.
