Coahoma Street

Rating:
Summary: Easy to pick up, Hard to put down.
Review: A very interesting reality-based, fictional account of life, love, and hate in a Mississippi river delta town through the eyes and heart of a young man who was there. I read it during lunch on three consecutive days, and the last lunch was quite extended as I could not put the book down. The dialog and the images that Jerry draws with his words, take you there and let you see/feel how it really was then.

I have never been in Mississippi, but I have "lived, fallen in love, and fought" there in the 60s a few weeks ago, and since I started to read "Coahoma Street" again, I'll "go do it again" one more time. I almost never read a book twice, but this one is special. It is cheaper, more real, and far better, than a movie.

Curl up with this good book this winter.

Summary: A Great Book To Read Anywhere, Anytime!!!
Review: Coahoma Street is a wonderful book that captures the mind from the first page to the last. I can only hope on another novel by this author as his style is unique and very descriptive. It feels as if the story is going on around you. Please read this book if you haven't, you wont be sorry! I already know what my entire family is getting for Christmas this year.... their own copies of Coahoma Street!!
