5.0 out of 5 stars Kept me up way past midnight, October 6, 2009

This review is from: The Midnight Special: The Legend of Leadbelly, (Hardcover)
Huddie Ledbetter wasn't the most lovable guy but you gotta love the way he lived his life. Every time he gets his train on the tracks, he derails himself. His story would be a good one even in he'd told it in his own illiterate way but, as told by Addeo and Garvin, every episode explodes off the page. I read this book in two or three sessions because I couldn't put it down. They don't make guys like Leadbelly anymore. They don't make tales like this either, not ones that are as well told as this. Like me, once you board The Midnight Special, you won't want to get off.
