[Ken Carden · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good Book.This author was the resident writer at U of Montevallo for years and I've met him several times,so I thought I'd give one of his books a shot and boy I'm glad I did.I love a writer who's not afraid to paint humanity how it truly is,someone who is willing to print how perverse a person can be.This one's got all that and then some.I'll give this brilliant man credit,he had me guessing where this story was going until the very last page,I had no idea what was going to happen and I love him for that.It was neat to read a book where the setting is in the area I grew up,many scenes and places I've seen or see often.I can say it is certain if you like Chuck Palahnuik(Fight Club)you'll like this guys style.

This was interesting, but I felt like there were too many people to keep up with.
