Somehow Form a Family proved to be a pleasant surprise to a reviewer who found Earley's Jim the Boy rather flat. This offering consists of stories, some fictional, others from his boyhood and more recent life, that should prove fascinating to adult listeners his age or older.

November 25, 2000: Tony came to read to my school last year and there was a lot of controversy about one particular poem that he wrote, 'Self-improvement.' The problem was that the teachers took offense because they chose to concentrate on merely the surface of the words, while the students looked deeper into the poem and discovered what he was trying to get across.
