Hi, Hi, Miss American Pie
This is the world in microcosm, America perceived from the other end of the telescope. Reading it brought out the literary evangelist in me: Everyone must read this book!
Parents should give it to their kids, kids to their parents, girlfriends to their boyfriends. "Miss American Pie" isn't a portrait of adolescence, it is adolescence, with all the sorrows and yearnings and tenderness that attend that age. It's our youth served up to us once again on a golden plate.
