Another great story, by another great country story teller.

[Dawna Bilko · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

We listened to the audiobook, as one of our family members is without sight. The one comment we cannot express strongly enough is:

Worst reader EVER!!

I am sure that if the author had listened to the audio rendition of his hard work and wonderful stories, he would be shocked and angry at the manner in which his talent is being presented to the large population of the sight impaired.

As a result, because of the terrible oral presentation of his book, it is impossible to rate this book with any true accuracy.
