I really loved this because it's basically events that have happened through the 40s to 80s, and the author tells a story of an individual experiencing those events. The stories are sometimes funny, sometimes heartwarming, and even emotional at times. When you hear the reference to the historical event, it really makes you think back and remember what you were doing at the time. It's an easy way to look back at some of the positive events in the past and remember what your life was like then. If you are fond of nostalgia and enjoy looking back at the good times in your life, I think you'll really enjoy this.

This is such a great idea!
