A TRUE Classic

This is and always will be my favorite growing up book. Portnoy is me except for the liver thing...
Great comedy that must not be missed.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this hilarious book about a young Jewish boy struggling to come to terms with the facts of life. Perhaps a bit harsh for delicate readers.

His mastery of the language is simply brilliant.
