This is an absolute page turner. Well written, exciting yarn set in the South, post World War II. This book includes a group of absolutely wonderful characters that you just cannot forget and become of a part of, including the narrator of the story, a 15 year old named Lee. I would highly recommend this book. Superb American literature.
Drama in the South cuts its own way through Mockingbird land
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Tobacco Sticks was more like Faulkner to me than Harper Lee. The author has charted out his own terriotry and the story is compelling and well written. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a book so much and was reluctant to finish. It is the story of a lawyer who does the hard thing and that is a rare story. I think readers will discover this author soon.
A poetic southern drama along the lines of To Kill A Mocking

What a great surprise to find a Southern novel that is not just another stereotypical drama of the old South. The writing is superb and the charatcters richly drawn. I would highly reccommend this book to anyone.
