I had this as a car read, so the reading happened over the course of maybe a year. That's alright though since it's fine (and probably preferable) to savor in small portions. I think some of the stories should really be heard by everyone. A few brought a tear to the eye, a few were very much "what the ...." moments. The collection is excellent and my favorite story was probably by Darryl McDaniels - D.M.C. of Run-D.M.C.

I could not get into this one at all. I was excited to get this one and thought it sounded good and that it would be a great story, but it wasn't, at least not for me.
I mean, it seemed like a long book to me of the same information and things being said, and come to find out, it only had 5 chapters. Those were 5 very long chapters and I could not click or connect to this one. Plus, the language in this book was not my thing. I dislike books with an overabundance of profanity and foul language, and this had a lot. I don't remember the last time I read/tried to read a book that had so much profanity like every few words. I mean, I can understand some profanity once in a while and I prefer, or rather can tolerate, maybe a little, but this was too much.
This was supposed to be a type of Southern mystery in Georgia about a dysfunctional family that gets together to solve a murder and a disappearance with buried secrets that have to be uncovered and such. I know other readers have liked this one, so it might be something you'd like, but it was a big miss for me.
Thanks to Celadon Books and NetGalley for letting me read and review this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
