Product ReviewsMy Name Is Bill : Bill Wilson--His Life and the Creation of Alcoholics Anonymous by Susan Cheever (2005, Trade Paperback)

Title describes book well.

Bill Wilson really comes off the page with this book. He isn't described as some icon, but as a human being with faults and serious problems in addition to his alcoholism.
I bought the book because I like Susan Cheever as an author (as I liked her father, John) and because the topic is important to me as someone connected to recovery.
Compared to the made-for-TV movie, the book is more multi-dimensional -- the movie portrayed Bill are a pretty nice guy. Bill was a difficult man on a good day, and Susan Cheever really captures that.Read full review...
