An absolutely intriguing story, rich in detail that makes the story authentic and compelling, and a character I won't ever forget. All of Nancy Peacock's writing is terrific, and this is the best yet.

Saw the movie, then read the book. One of those rare instances where the movie did justice to the book. Both entertaining, but with some disturbing themes.

Quotes by Robert Inman

“But I rather like being infamous. If you're a nobody, you're just a nobody. If you're famous, they erect a statue of you and pigeons crap on your head. But if you're infamous, you're somebody without having to put up with pigeon crap. - Phinizy Mosely”
― Robert Inman, Dairy Queen Days
