A great Listen

This book had me laughing,close to tears at some parts and in others my mouth was hanging open so much my coworkers started given me weird looks. I couln't put it down so I finished it by the end of the work day. This book is a work of fiction which I believe gave the author more room to weave this fascinating story, I loved it and can't wait to listen to the next book. If you're a person who can't handle graphic adult situations then you need to skip this hench the open mouth part of my day LOL!

Wow just wow READ IT YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED

First off when I 15 I took this book from my mom and secretly read it lol I had no business reading this at 15! But at 30 I’m re reading it and babyyyy it’s even better than what I remember wow ! LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH

I'm hooked.

I was going to quit this book, because of the scene that takes place at the beginning. Her Mamma's a Bitch. It bother me badly. I'm glad I didn't quit, because I so enjoyed this book. Johnnie and the whole crew are memorable. Johnnie had me laughing out loud the entire book.

Very Detailed

The author really painted a picture of the times and temperature of the setting in New Orleans back then. Johnnie developed seamlessly as the story progressed.

Great story terrible narration

You could here the narrator swallow and breathe with every pause. I think I even heard what sounded like him taking a drink. Loved the story but I think a woman should have been the narrator.
