This review is from: Twentieth Century Campfire Culture (Paperback)
Twentieth Century Campfire Culture is an excellent book. The stories are well written. I especially enjoy the stories, "Princess Die," "Last American Cowboy," and "Solo." I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys short stories. They are wonderful to tell at night (especially around a campfire - hence the title) Even if you don't read often and you have a goal to read one book this year, you should read this book. The stories that I wrote down were my favorite and were so realistic that I cried. Buy this book! It's definitly worth it!

By Angelita CAmpos (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Twentieth Century Campfire Culture (Paperback)
I think that the book was very interersting my best story was "Solo" because I believe that every american has a story very similar to what that boy went threw. I can relate to that in so many ways. It makes me relize that every person has some type of back hystery. I would recomend this story to anybody along with "Warming UP". That is also a story that will keep you on your toes but, this one has a great ending.
