The audio book version of The Longest Trip Home: A Memoir is read by the author, which I think adds a sense of authenticity and an almost intimacy with the author because you can actually hear the story in his own words.

Not nearly as good as Marley, but a decent read nonetheless.

This is a coming of age autobiography, spanning the authors entire life to date, but focusing primarily on his youth and the final chapter in his father's life. This is a great story, well-written and a quick read. A bit of a tear-jerker too, at the end, as with his previous story, "Marley and Me." I really enjoyed this story.
