Default Re: Memoirs

"Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier" is one of the most powerful memoirs I've read. It's not terribly well written, but the story is mind-blowing.

Also, I'm not sure if it would be considered a memoir but "Some Survived: An Eyewitness Account of the Bataan Death March" is absolutely incredible.

I've always wanted to read the Abagnale memoir, but have never got around to it. Thanks for the reminder, I'm going to pick it up soon.
