Publisher Description
An "enormously entertaining" portrait of "a Bronx Tom Sawyer" (San Francisco Chronicle), City Boy is a sharp and moving novel of boyhood from Pulitzer Prize winner Herman Wouk.
A hilarious and often touching tale of an urban kid's adventures and misadventures on the street, in school, in the countryside, always in pursuit of Lucille, a heartless redhead personifying all the girls who torment and fascinate pubescent lads of eleven.
Customer Reviews
Most Enjoyable!!
I enjoyed reading this book about a very bright albeit quite chubby young man growing up in New York City almost a full century ago! The book is written with great humor and insight and is most definitely a very enjoyable read. I imagine the New York Mr. Wouk writes about would be barely recognizable in the New York of today and this makes the reading experience all that much more charming and instills in the reader a nostalgia for a more innocent time.
