When I came across this book it was being offered for free. As I do with most books, I read many of the reviews. There were great reviews and some that made me think this just wasn't going to be the book for me. I am a creature of habit and normally stick to True Crime,Criminal Fiction,  Crime Mysteries and Thrillers. Throwing caution to the wind I downloaded this book.In the beginning it was a little hard to get into. The Kentucky drawl was a little too Southern even for me down further South.But once I stopped focusing so much on pronunciation and such the book became addictive. R.J. is one hell of a character with flash and substance. His tales seem so outrageous at times but yet so real you can imagine yourself sitting beside your own great grandfather hearing a tale such as this one. The second half of the book really touched some emotional places in my heart. One particular sentence about "fat, little grand babies" made me gush with joy because I now know what that feeling is like. You truly do not know how it feels until it happens. Even "Dog" was such an enjoyable furry character.I am glad I stepped out of my crime world to read this novel and I hope to see more from D.C. Hicks
