Ear to Ear is a highly fictionalized, memoir with grisly murders, teen love gone awry, explosives, and getting mauled by a baby cougar. The main character is an admittedly privileged white kid who moves with his family in two giant Cadillac's from Detroit to Seattle soon after his eighth birthday in 1957. During high school he faces the horrors of teen age bewilderment. His passion is skiing, not studying. His counselor sentences him to "tutoring the Crips!" They provide the best education he could ever hope for. Ear to Ear is a laugh out loud tale of awakening youth. Tim discovers that his keen sense of fairness causes him to stick up for the underdogs no matter who must die. You will find humor and moral ambiguity in numerous, unlikely circumstances: - A beater car with 300 empty beer cans in the back and a twisted pedophile at the wheel - Enveloped in the olfactory overload of thousands of sea lions while peaking on LSD - Blindly lobbing explosives to start avalanches - Refusing to STEP OVER THE YELLOW LINE at the Army induction center resulting in prison. Ear to Ear is a very funny book with color illustrations that will make you laugh and cry. As the hero says, "The worst disability is not recognizing your own."
