Jessie interviews a variety of people and as you probably guessed, these people are on the fringe. He doesn't disrespect any of them but instead offers them deference and a forum to tell their side of the lifestyle they've chosen. Whatever makes you happy....

This book was interesting in many ways. It's worth the listen but it's not his best work.

A few bad Indians are killing people. That's about it. The story just isn't that interesting with a few, if any, plot twists. I usually like Sanford. but this one lacks just about everything.

If you're a narcissist who enjoys wallowing in self pity and how the world isn't fair, this book is for you. For example, one chapter was a list of all of her regrets in life, which were MANY. Guess how many of these regrets center on herself and not those she hurt?! If you said 99%, you get a gold star. This is the type of person who you want to stay away from in real life as they will drain your spirit and bring you down.

Just Plain Enjoyable

This is a great listen. It's an audiobook you'll be able to simply enjoy without trying to figure out any deep meanings or underlying emotions. The story moved along without many slow spots, the characters were well developed and the story line was interesting. I also enjoyed the anti-woke and non-PC nature of the book. I had just finished Prince of Tides and needed to lighten things up a bit. This hit the spot, refreshing and just plain enjoyable.

I've never read or listened to a better book. You will laugh and you will cry, but most importantly you will gain tremendous insights into the human psyche. It's as if Steinbeck and Mark Twain had collaborated but it's even better than that.

I made it halfway through then had to quit. I just couldn't take it. The narration was horrible as this woman had zero ability to do a man's voice. She also speaks so slowly that at 1.2 speed it was almost normal. It's a book written by a woman for women. I don't think most men would find this interesting. Logic zero, emotion 10. I wasted the $12+ bucks it costs but thought I'd give this author a try. Big mistake. Never again.

This novel was one of the worst, if not the worst, Follet’s ever. I kept listening hoping for improvement but it never happened. It started out boring and stupid and ended boring and stupid.

I can't recommend this book. His previous book was hilarious as the two dicks gave each other crap constantly. But this book had little to no banter between Dickie and Floyd. The story was pretty good however but I really missed the humor the first book had. .
