"Would highly recommend :)" according to Amazon Customer. When I saw this book I had to have it. Laughter really is the best medicine to forget all your problems and I disappeared in jimmy's stories for hoursbelieving the characters were mea good variety of classic southern fun and stories-loved it!!.
