Title: Family Man by Calvin Trillin ISBN: 0-374-52583-8 Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux Pub. Date: 30 June, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $11.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.57 (7 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Aptly Titled Book charms.
Comment: Calvin Trillin has always been one of my favorite observational humorists. His short commentaries have graced many a newspaper and brightened up many a day. This book, FAMILY MAN, is unique in that it has a cohesive theme, his family life. And although it is not chronological or compounding, the stories support each other and create a family environment. This is a wonderful book but it does not have the brief 2 or 3 page chapters that make it quick bathroom reading.
Rating: 4
Summary: Poignant and relevant to a mom with two NY teenagers
Comment: This a light and wonderful read - especially if you have experienced any significant part of the world about which Trillin writes - be it the mysteries, nuances, surprises and joys of being a connected parent - or the delightful pleasures of real New York City neighborhood living - and, even if you have missed those things, Trillin wings you lightly along on his entertaining personal flight - great literature, no - highly enjoyable, yes.
Rating: 4
Summary: Enjoyable humor; relaxing entertainmnet
Comment: I really enjoyed this book at lot. Lots of amusing stories about family life, New York life, ex-Midwestern life.
Living 60 miles from Trillum's Kansas City home town related to some of his Midwest episodes. The "Chigger" secton was very funny, even though I was scratching my own bites while reading.
I especially liked the stories about the Halloween parades, and taking the kid to the local community musical productions.
Lots of funny lines; I kept reading aloud from it to my wife -- she ended up reading the book to.
