Hole in my life
By Jack Gantos
Douglas & McIntyre / Fsg Adult (2002), Hardcover, 208 pages
I finished reading this book, Hole in my life, by Jack Ganton. It is actually his autobiography (he is a children's book writer) and talks about how he wound up going to jail for drug smuggling when he was 19, and what it was like in jail, and how he got out, basically.
It is such an interesting story, I almost can't believe it is actually what happened to him.
Anyway, it is both funny and creepy and strange and sad, but mostly told very humourously, and I would deffo recommend this one.
Bottom line: This book is super-awesome and is whole-heartedly recommended to teens ages 12-18 and also for adults. Such a good book! Can't believe it all really happened!
