5.0 out of 5 stars
one of the most entertaining books i've ever read,
By lowdown@vt.edu, Brandon Clifton (Ridgeway, VA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Curing the Cross-Eyed Mule (Paperback)
My father got this book as a gift from my grandmother for his birthday. She usually gets religious-type books, so I didn't bother to even pick it up for a long time. One day, dad brought it to me and said "here son, read this real quick." Then I realized that I'd been ignoring one of the funniest books with some of the catchiest stories and anecdotes I've ever seen. I recommend this book to anyone, especially as bedside material, or as bathroom reading material. The quips are short enough as not to hinder your daily activities, but are funny enough to justify taking a few extra seconds to read. My opinion, in two words- BUY IT!

This review is from: Curing the Cross-Eyed Mule (Paperback)
Apalachian humor at its very best. Some of these you've heard before, but maybe not told quite so well. Genuine country humor. Fun to share. Makes a great gift.
