Petro is a genius,
By Jack Markell (Wilmington, DE United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sitting Up With the Dead: A Storied Journey Through the American South (Hardcover)
It's rare to find such a great book - entertaining, provocative and simply impossible to put down. I've long been a Petro fan --starting with her classic "Travels in an Old Tongue". Only wish she would write more. Highly recommended.

Appalachian stories? Not in this book.....,
By
This review is from: Sitting Up With the Dead: A Storied Journey Through the American South (Hardcover)
I thought this book would be full of fascinating stories from the Appalachian mountain people, boy was I disappointed. What it turned out to be is the authors opinions of the storytellers themselves. Very few stories are included but complete details of her trip...the weather....her emails...how she felt and whatever else she could find to toss into the book to fill its pages. About halfway through I was ready to chunk it into the resell pile but I held on hoping it would get better, it didn't. If you are looking for folklore and the true tales of the Appalachian mountains, I'd suggest finding another book cause this book will sadly disappoint you. I'd put this one in the ranks of being one of the worst books I've ever read.
