Reviews

[Laura Jean · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quite humorous journalistic essays by the author of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. They cover a variety of topics: football, book reviews, and interviews. It's an eclectic collection. My main issue was that they were all published prior to my birth, so he would refer to people, events or even phrases with which I was not familiar. Otherwise, it was fun.
