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.

Wasn't worth the time it took to read it. I'm glad it didn't cost me anything.
