Meet the Grogans
Before there was Marley, there was a gleefully mischievous boy navigating his way through the seismic social upheaval of the 1960s. On the one side were his loving but comically traditional parents, whose expectations were clear. On the other were his neighborhood pals and all the misdeeds that followed. The more young John tried to straddle these two worlds, the more spectacularly, and hilariously, he failed. Told with Grogan's trademark humor and affection, The Longest Trip Home is the story of one son's journey into adulthood to claim his place in the world. It is a story of faith and reconciliation, breaking away and finding the way home again, and learning in the end that a family's love will triumph over its differences.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Classic - Loved it. -
This book is not about religion, the spirituality takes a back seat to the story of the author's life, which in many ways is nothing different than anything anyone has experienced. But Grogan's writing style makes it feel as if you are a sibling going along for the ride. His family is decribed with such plain uniquness that you feel you know them. You almost felt yourself rooting for a different ending to so many journeys throughout the story, but it really makes you realize that most of the life's turns are destined to happem you just don't know when.
Great story, every bit as good as "Marley and Me" and I highly suggest it.

great book -
I really enjoyed this book! It is really well written. It started off a little slow but then it was just fun reading about the funny stories of his childhood and as he grew older. Reading it made me think of fun memories I have of being young and it made me really want to write my own memoir. I liked it so much that I made my fiance read it. His parents are the exact same way as John's parents with religion and waiting until marriage, so after reading it he was like, wow that's the story of my life. The ending was sad but overall it was a great book.

Laughed harder than I have in quite some time! -
If you grew up Catholic in the Midwest in the 1960s or 1970s, you will definitely relate! He gets a glimpse inside the nun's dorm and found it to be depressing and quiet, prompting him to revisit his thoughts on why the nuns were so mean to all the boys in his class. He's confused about what to say in his 1st confession (he decides to lie at the last minute, fearing damnation for his crush on a mom in the neighborhood, "coveting thy neighbor's wife"). He follows the lead of the older altar boys, who all drink the communion wine leftover from the mass. As he gets older, he rebels and plants pot in the family garden, thinking his very conservative dad will mistake it for a weed. He bikes around the neighborhood with his 2 best friends, smoking cigarettes in an overgrown field. Very funny memoir! Takes an emotional turn in the final chapters when his dad becomes seriously ill.
