Reddit reviews Oh the Glory of It All

"Oh the Glory of It All" by Sean Wilsey. It made me laugh and relate a lot, even though the writer (it's a biography) grew up in a wealthy (dysfunctional, obviously) family in San Francisco. http://www.amazon.com/Oh-Glory-All-Sean-Wilsey/dp/0143036912

I think his mother wrote another biography based on her own life as a "reply", called "Oh, the Hell of All" - haven´t read it though.

Interesting local history. This was commissioned by homeowner Pat Montandon, biological mother of author Sean Wilsey who wrote Oh The Glory of it All, personally one of my favorite books ever, delving into San Francisco high society and all sorts of dysfunction. The book created a real stir amongst the Pacific Heights set when it was written 9 years ago.

4. Wilsey tells his story of growing up surrounded by people with just enough wealth to be totally crazy. His life is populated by Dickensian characters and his tone is equal parts bite and acceptance, resulting in a hilarious, colorful memoir.
