E.L. Doctorow Takes Us Back to Futurama

by  Grouch ,  Feb 10, 2000

Pros: Doctorow's details are so precise, you'll swear you can taste the penny candy and hear The Green Hornet on the radio

by  Furie ,  Dec 8, 2000
12 out of 12 people found this review helpful.
Pros: A pleasure to read, captures the wonder of childhood
Cons: ----
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Do you remember what childhood was like? Back when the simplest things, like a street cleaner truck, gave you the greatest sense of wonder. E. L. Doctorow does, and he reminds us about it with his wondrous novel, World's Fair.
