The Baby Boom

P.J. O'Rourke's Baby Boom may just be his best book ever. Teems with heart and humor -- much of it laugh out loud, or as the post-boomers would say, LOL -- as well as with his trademark brilliant social commentary. A terrific American memoir, in tone a beguiling mix of Jean Shepherd and "Animal House." In fact, I'm going to revise my prior statement and say flat-out that this is O'Rourke's best book ever, which is a saying a lot. * Christopher Buckley, author of Thank You For Smoking *
PJ O'Rourke is the rarest of breeds; a veteran rightwinger who is both funny and clever but not bitter at all... It's very funny, utterly thought-provoking...O'Rourke emerges as a hero for admitting what few of his generation dare to. * The Times *
Few journalists are as bold and iconoclastic as PJ O'Rourke... Thoroughly entertaining. * Mail on Sunday *
Like all the best memoirs, it stirs suppressed memories in the reader...This man writes like a dream * Spectator *
Simultaneously hilarious and brainy * Chicago Tribune *
P.J. O'Rourke is a reformed baby boomer. In his latest offering, he turns his satirical wit on his own generation. His observations and analysis are, by turns, insightful and hilarious. * The Washington Times *
There is a booming quality to O'Rourke and his work. Loud eruptions of irreverent laughter. * Weekend Australian *
