Bayou Billy was a famous outlaw who lived to a very old age. When he dies, two towns will lie, cheat, and corpsenap in order to get the infamy that comes with burying Bayou Billy in their respective towns.
C.L. Bevill has been in the U.S. Army, cleaned floors, a graphic illustrator, a therapist, and a stay at home mother. She lives in the Alabama area with her husband and daughter and keeps plugging away at the next great American novel.
This book is stupid. You can't unread it. What it does do is wrap you into asking, "What's next?" And thus keeps you going until the bitter end. Do yourself a favor: Don't start!
An absolutely, ridiculously funny romp. You can't help feel for the residents in these towns, and you actually find yourself caring about Bayou Billy when no one else does. If you are looking for a hilarious, silly book, you have found it.
An humorous story of two towns, well a mayor and an undertaker fighting over the remains of Bayou Billy, a folk hero thief who committed the last robbery of a Mississippi steam boat. Pretty funny story but kind of slow. Not as much a page turner as some of the authors other books.
Absolutely the most entertaining book I have ever read. it made me laugh out loud. I will read more by this author. I recommend this to anyone wanting a fun read.
so far I have read 2 chapters and I gotta tell you; this is hard to read while my husband is sleeping next to me. I just want to laugh out loud so much. it is funny.
