Boomer by Steven R. Dolby talks about the life of the author as he shares various childhood memories and experiences. The book is set in the 1950s and begins with Boomer recalling how his father used to read bedtime stories to him and his siblings, often causing them to fall asleep before the story ended. Boomer mentions a neighbor who bought a television set, which was a big deal at the time. Throughout the book, Boomer shares anecdotes about his adventures and misadventures. He talks about encounters with a bumblebee, disappearing donuts, and his unique hairstyle.

I like the author's honesty and authenticity in sharing his personal experiences. It was heartwarming to read about, and I hope it will encourage other readers to do more. I also like the author's admiration for his father's qualities, such as not using profanity around his kids and being patriotic. It is important for children to have caring parents who will teach them and show them how life works.

I enjoyed reading about the nostalgic portrayal of evening entertainment and family bonding through games and bedtime stories. The author's father is a great bedtime storyteller, and the use of visualization to help the children fall asleep is something I hope to do for my children.

In summary, the book provides glimpses into the narrator's childhood memories and adventures, filled with humor, mishaps, and memorable experiences. Dolby's storytelling style and the unique events he recalls paint a vivid picture of his life. It is about the author's experiences as a member of the Baby Boomer generation, which refers to Americans born between the mid-1940s and the mid-1960s. The book takes the reader on a journey through the author's life, including his travels, career, and interactions with other Baby Boomers.

I found nothing negative while reading the book. I can say that the book was well-edited because I found no grammatical errors. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to people who are struggling to find their path in life.
