Weeds in Bloom: Autobiography of an Ordinary Man

(4) YA Short vignettes capture encounters from Peck's life. While some are delightfully well paced, others are too loaded down with description and awkward phrasings to be enjoyable. Stories of important figures in Peck's earlier life tend to be overly poetic; tales from encounters as a young man and beyond ring with more authenticity.
