5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting reading, February 8, 2002

This review is from: Cat-Head Biscuits & Squirrel Stew (Paperback)

I started reading Cat-Head Biscuits and Squirrel Stew and could hardly put it down. Reading this book was the next best thing to being on a hunt with the author. I experienced the excitement of seeing a huge Elk walking over a ridge, aiming and firing and seeing the animal fall and slowly slide down the ridge. The dangers experienced by the author brings a chill to the reader.The stories in this book are well written and easy to read. The advice offered by Mr. Roof regarding preparing for the hunt is a must for anyone expecting to leave for that hunt of a lifetime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Roof, a literary Casanova, March 8, 2002

This review is from: Cat-Head Biscuits & Squirrel Stew (Paperback)

This book takes you away! With every word, you are drawn deeper into the life and antics of this fine story teller, and regale in his emotions. I went away feeling as though I literally LIVED the authors childhood, hunting experiences, fears, dreams, and sentiments. I was ON that porch with Mrs. Walker as she was summoned with needle and thread to doctor a hunting dogs mishap, as she revealed her hard life with only the look in her eyes. I could feel the nights air on my skin sitting on the bridge fishing, I was walking the path back to the house after the excitement of the "unexpected" catch in the darkness! I could go on and on with the wonderments of this stimulating collection of Mr. Roofs hunting stories, and it's definitely one of those books you'll read more than once. I absolutely loved it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book You Can't Put Down, March 5, 2002

This review is from: Cat-Head Biscuits & Squirrel Stew (Paperback)

Cat-Head Biscuits and Squirrel Stew is the next best thing to having a personal conversation with the author. He has the gift of making ordinary events become real. Satisfying the suspense he creates, becomes top priority as the scene he creates unfolds. As you read his stories, you find yourself saying, "That's exactly how I would have felt." Or, "I could never have had the patience, or courage to do that!" Anyone who doesn't take a look at this book, doesn't know what he/she is missing.
