A terrific slice of Southern Life. He captures the flavor of small town Ga. even as northerners move in and try to change it. I loved it, finished it at 3 a.m.. Who needs sleep when you've got a good book?

I was very dissappointed in this book, not as good as I expected. I'm a "yankee" so I didn't appreciate the many put downs of yankees. I'm also an animal lover so I didn't appreciate all the dogs being killed and the lady getting away with it. If you can put up with that, you might like it, read at your own discreation.
