it was ok
bookshelves: memoir

This was a gift, so I hate to say I didn't like it, but...well. I loved "All Over But the Shoutin" but found this book difficult to follow. I kept losing track - is this the great-grandfather? Grandfather? Mother or Grandmother?

I may have become oversaturated with Bragg's style since I read "Shoutin." He has a full-page article in the back of every Southern Living issue, and I feel he's a bit too much. People magazine is quoted on the back of the book saying Bragg is "As toothsome as a catfish supper," but to me, he douses the catfish with too much gravy and hot sauce, just for the sake of showing he has so much gravy and hot sauce.
