Bill Bryson is one of my favorite authors. The Life And Times Of The Thunderbolt Kid is a story of his life growing up in Des Moines, Iowa. He was born in 1951. He had an active imagination and thought of himself as a super-hero who could fry people with his thunderbolt looks. He had friends who were good influences and other friends who were bad influences. Dropping items on diners at at the shopping mall was done by Bryson and one of his friends who was a bad influence. He writes a hilarious book.
