“How Did I Get Here So Fast Is a Memoir” by Charles Vanyo chronicles the author’s life journey from the 1950s to the present. The book delves into his childhood experiences, friendships, the aging of his parents, and his unsuccessful mayoral campaign in Fairfield, New Jersey, in 1985. It also explores themes of dating and humor.
The book provides a comprehensive overview of seven decades of the author’s life. Readers who grew up in northern New Jersey or those who experienced the 1950s will likely find resonance with the book’s content. Additionally, individuals who have struggled with their own life choices may find inspiration in the author’s reflections on his own decisions.
I found the book to be an engaging and insightful read. I highly recommend it and suggest adding it to your reading list. Despite its concise length, the book offers valuable insights and perspectives.

Sylvia Jacobs, I agree. Just that my life story is so bizarre that it would probably be tossed into the fiction section.
