"In this frank, often wickedly funny account, Hitchens traces his evolution as a fiercely independent thinker and enemy of people who are convinced of their absolute certainty. If you're going to disagree with someone, you want your adversary to be the best he is."- The New York Post "I absolutely loved every minute of it! It's delicious writing, highly intelligent, and very provocative, as you'd expect. Hitchens paints a credible and even affecting self-portrait."- The New Yorker "As contemptuous, digressive, righteous, and riotously funny as the rest of the author's incessant output, this memoir is an effective coming-of-age story, regardless of what one may think of the resulting adult. In the age of the Internet and the academy, it will open up different models for how to be a thoughtful person, how to engage in political life and what sort of things one should know in order to be truly educated."- The New York Times " is a memoir that should be given to high school and college students of a literary bent.
