Hole in My Life by Jack Gantos

Non-fiction account of author's experience in his youth with drugs, alcohol & prison. I found his explanations of his experiences with smuggling and incarceration interesting. But more important, I found his inventory of his feelings about his life and the evolution of his feeling of self-worth and confirmation of his constant desire to write particularly inspiring.

Merit: Face up to your mistakes. Try to be true to yourself.
Share: Present as a sort of self-help to young people with aspirations.
Appeal: Fans of the author will enjoy the autobiography. Everyone can gain from the self-evaluation.
