ONE OF THE BEST

This is an absolute page turner. Well written, exciting yarn set in the South, post World War II. This book includes a group of absolutely wonderful characters that you just cannot forget and become of a part of, including the narrator of the story, a 15 year old named Lee. I would highly recommend this book. Superb American literature.

Drama in the South cuts its own way through Mockingbird land

Tobacco Sticks was more like Faulkner to me than Harper Lee. The author has charted out his own terriotry and the story is compelling and well written. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a book so much and was reluctant to finish. It is the story of a lawyer who does the hard thing and that is a rare story. I think readers will discover this author soon.

A poetic southern drama along the lines of To Kill A Mocking

What a great surprise to find a Southern novel that is not just another stereotypical drama of the old South. The writing is superb and the charatcters richly drawn. I would highly reccommend this book to anyone.
