4.0 out of 5 stars Short observations on life in the South, May 22, 2007

This review is from: Gun Racks and Six-Packs: The Life and Times of the Genuine, Original, All-American Redneck : The Best of Bo Whaley (Hardcover)

This book is a collection of short essays about life in the Deep South, many of which appear to have begun life as newspaper columns. These stories reflect the character of the South, friendly, casual, and plain spoken. They are also quirky and often amusing. Whaley clearly loves his native South, and helps explain its allure to those of use raised elsewhere. Because these essays are organized by subject matter, the book does sometimes feel a bit repetitive, but as a collection, it is easy to pick up and read for a few minutes at a time. Not a deep, meaningful book, but entertaining enough to be worth reading.
