Ended Abrubtly

I kept wondering what happened to the main character as he grew up. Good book.

5 Stars

This book was one of the best books I have had the pleasure of listening to in a while. The narrator did an excellent job of the southern accent. There is nothing worse than a botched southern accent in an audiobook. It is easy to listen to and hard to turn off. I was sad when it was over. Like I lost a friend... :)

good book, excellent narrator

This was a good audible-- the narrator was wonderful. Started out very light and brought back memories as the era of the book was the same as my high school years. Well done characters. The end was not what I was expecting and the themes were different from what I expected but the book was very well done.

Unbelievably great book!

Mark Childress is a genius writer in the same vein as southern greats, Faulkner, Capote, and O'Connor. This book is away ahead of its time when written and is as relevant today as any contemporary work out there. It's story telling at its best. Get the book!

Heavy stuff…Excellent Narration

Heavy stuff…Excellent Narration . This narrator did a terrific job with different voices and even made the singing fun. I picked up this book from. Little Free Library and started reading the book, but switched to the audio. I. Pleased I did that; as I wouldn’t have ended finishing this book had U not.

The story was written well. It covers heavy topics of growing up in Mississippi in the early 70’s and all that entailed.

There were some funny parts to this story, but you will not walk away feeling good. It’s just not that type of novel. Because of that I see no reason to recommend to book.
