3.0 out of 5 stars Cousins to the Kudzu, September 29, 2000

By	Doug Campbell (Newnan, Ga.) - See all my reviews

Combine Caldwell's short stories with Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, then add a good dose of Twain's humor,satire,and his view of mankind, plus a dash of the Southern myths and history and you'll have William Doxey's novel. A good read for those that enjoy the possible stories behind the every day actions of people in a small town.

2.0 out of 5 stars Vignettes of Insipid and Stupid People, May 25, 2009

By	Bonnie Brody "Fairbanks Reader" (Fairbanks, Alaska) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This book is about the southern town of Oughton, 50 miles from Atlanta. The book consists of vignettes of the lives of folks who live there. There is a lot of meaningless sex, stupid people and insipid lives.

The writing is poor but there are some good ideas espoused. The main problem with the book is that the writing is so strained and artificial that it is almost impossible to concentrate on the dialogue.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Southern Book!, July 18, 2004

By	C Doxey "Sunset Point" (Douglasville, GA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I enjoyed this book and think it should have gotten more attention. It is a great book about the south. It is also written by my father.
