Customer Reviews

A kinder, gentler Lewis Grizzard

The first several collections of Lewis Grizzard were culled from articles unapologetically written with a distinct Southern Flavor, which perhaps limited his audience. This collection, just as insightful as those previous, comes at a time when Lewis seems more at ease with his place and age and has little to offend anyone while offering his usual portion of fun. Lewis Grizzard was, like his friend Weyman C. Wannamaker, a Great American. His writing celebrated his Southern Heritage and is full of stories about faithful dogs, good country music and women who looked so good they'd make a preacher break out in a sweat. Lewis loved his momma, his country and his culture, and he wrote about the things he loved in a way that if you didn't love them too, at least you could understand why he did. He is missed.

Wit and Wisdom. Grizzard at his best!

Ahh...who couldn't like Grizzard? Except if you're a Yankee ;P Wish he was still around to write more. It's the only book of his I read (and won't be the last, I assure you) and I already miss him.

Wit, Wisdom and down home Southern humor

Never get tired of this book. Funny, enlightening and very eye opening at times...

Read it its GREAT

I read this book almost a million times and I always find something different to laugh at. It should become a classic someday in the world of comedy books.
