Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Lepp brothers are really original...with a capital OH!
Review: All of Mr Lepp's stories speak to me on a primal, fundamental level, in a place that brings me back to my life as a child.... shyeeha right! Honestly folks, Bil is one of the best guys i have ever met, and his stories have had me rolling with laughter more than once. He and his wife Paula and both salt of the earth, good people, and their belief in God, and the fundamental goodness of Mankind are reasons enough to own this book! Someday, you'll be glad you did!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A "Gold Star" on the Forehead of West Virginia
Review: Bil Lepp and his brother have put together a collection of new "Tall Tales" that is not to be missed. Not buying this book is akin to bypassing Twain in his day. (O.k.-Maybe that's a little much, but you get the point.) The storytelling is superb, always compelling and surprising, twisting around hysterical subjects and impossible(?) settings. In this day and age you don't get many chances to read a new author with as much talent as Bil has for spewing forth untruths that sound so believable! Take my word for it, this one is a keeper! You won't be disappointed!

Summary: I hope Bil and Pauls folks have produced more Lepps
Review: If Mark Twain, John Steinbeck or Ernest Hemingway had been twins we'd be alot better off, but since that didn't happen we need as many W.V. Lepps as they had Waltons.

The Lepps have pieced together a hilarious array of short stories and tall tales that you'll want to share with everyone from your preacher to your parole officer. These stories capture a vanishing part of Americana in a way the old Andy Griffith show did, except that the Lepps lie alot.

Can't wait for them to get a book on tape, but until they do I'm sure glad they wrote this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tall tales and humor. A wonderful book!
Review: If you like tall tales and humor, you'll like this book. Stories range from the wonderous fishing exploits of the "Monster Stick" to the Herculean feats of Buck The Wonder Dog. I especially liked the story about how wild turkeys learned to disappear from the hunters. Another favorite is a tall tale of how the author won $1000 in the lottery, only to lose it to a Wildlife Officer in fines. I hope the author will write many more!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Monster Stick etc...
Review: This is really a fantastic book. I read a friend's Rev. Regina Spring's that she bought it directly from Rev. Bil ar her course of studies. I am purchasing this book for a Christmas present. I would recommend it to anyone! Funny! I would recommend it to all preachers!
