The author bills this as fiction, but it reads like a series of connected essays that form a first person, non-fiction account of (possibly) his own childhood (albeit with a generous helping of "fish story" creative embellishment, and maybe a flat out whopper or two). His sense of place is strong, his voice is authentic.
The first in the Southern Adventure Series, Me, Boo and the Goob is a little gem of a book destined to become a beloved classic and will one day be an Oscar-winning blockbuster of a movie, รก la Forrest Gump.
