No review, Kevin?

If it’s “gooder than grits” it’s pretty darn good!

Fabulous review!! 🤗

Thank you so much, Kimber! 😀 I really appreciate it.
Though I know you're much more of an expert on Midwestern lingo than I. 🤠

If I were a horseman in the late 19th century, I'd be the kind with sheep wool chaps and an embroidered waistcoat! 🤭🙈 My silver spurs would clink loudly as I step into a roughhouse saloon.
"Hello, barman! I'd like a chilled glass of Chardonnay, please."

I thought it was an amazing read. I am trying to read Lonesome Dove and having a time with it. Just is not grabbing me the way Days Without End did.

Great review Kevin! I enjoyed this one too!!

Lovely to hear from you, Marialyce!

I'm sorry to hear that 'Lonesome Dove' is proving to be a chore. The TV series was fantastic!

I loved your review too!

Sir Kevin... Gory and grimy! (I don't like grits) An excellent review!

Thank you, Fantastic Fran! Most kind!
I've never eaten grits. We don't have them here, so I can't pass comment. : )

Love your ratings! Terrific review, Kevin.

Thank you, Angela! Lovely to see you.
And I loved your review of this book!

Excellent review, Kevin! The dialect might cause me to zone out, but the book sounds great otherwise. Good to see it inspired its own rating system with local flavour. :)

Thank you, Rosh! You are always so kind. 🙏

It's a treat to read another of your reviews, Kevin.

"It would be a crime for Sebastian Barry's lyrical excellence to go unread, and this is a great read."

I agree wholeheartedly.
I also love the Midwestern rating system. "Gooder than grits' fits this tough-tasting but well written book.

A superb review, thank you Kevin!

An interesting and funny review, Kevin! And a Speckled Puppy to you for your own Midwestern rating system :=))

Bahahahaha - I love your funny ending there Kevin, wonderful review mate. It would've been a horribly grim existence then, right? I recently watched a brutally grim Netflix Series on this period - American Primevil, 5 stars from me. Anyway - great review mate :))

I loved American Primeval, Mark. That was a great series!
And I appreciate you dropping by, mate.

Such a fun and beautifully honest review, Kevin. I love reading you, as you know. And, what a creative rating system! 🥰

Might adopt that rating system Sir K. Your review is gooder than grits! 🥂

Hey Kevin, great review and I think your rating system is genius ! I thought this might be too gritty for me but having just finished a similar book set around the same time which was just as intense, I’m fully immersed in the era so will definitely add to my list!

And you're gooder than grits yourself, Lady C! 😊
Thank you for dropping by! 🥂

Fantastic review, Kevin!

Very kind of you, Debra! I appreciate it.

We Southerners know there ain't much that's "gooder than grits", so we find that a very fine rating! I have a little heart-bump when I see you have published a review because I know I am going to get at least one good laugh for the day!

Sara, you are unfailingly kind! Delighted to make you laugh. Thank you so much. 😊

Im from Appalachia Ohio Sara. I love grits!! have always had it and fried Mush too!

Great review Kevin. Love the rating system.
⭐ "Ugly as a mud fence." haha!!

So into the fun of the review....what was the book about?
Oh yeah...McNulty's midwestern twang!

I appreciate you saying so, Lesle. And I love the Midwestern twang! ✌🏻😊

Nice review Kevin. Not sure if I’ve ever sampled proper grits but will definitely be adding this book to my ‘want to read’ shelf!

I've definitely never sampled grits, Mary. In fact, I've never even seen them in real life.

Thank you for reading my review!

Brilliant review, Kevin! Love your rating system.
