it was amazing
bookshelves: stout-stories, 2015, 2023, audiobook
Read 2 times. Last read December 8, 2023 to December 13, 2023.

Simply the best Christmas tale. Why did I wait so long to read this?! I grew up loving the movie and being proud that it was written by a Hoosier who lovingly wrote about where I grew up (the "region"). Reading this collection of short stories (taken from another short story collection by Jean Shepherd) that inspired the cult classic Christmas movie, I was in awe of how truly funny it was. I literally laughed out loud on multiple occasions much to the annoyance of my cats. I can't praise it enough. It's fantastic and I want to reread it every holiday season. It's too damn good to read just once. For fans of the movie adaptation, humor, and Hoosiers. Not to be missed!

Suzy I love this also - you can listen to Jean Shepherd read the central story of the movie. He is so fabulous at bringing this to life.
