About book Walking To Gatlinburg (2010)

This is an entertaining "tall tale"; a good read (i.e., did not learn much, but had a good time going along on the adventure.) Like any good tall tale it stretches the imagination a bit. As a reviewer says on the cover, it brings to mind Mark Twain. Huck Finn touches on slavery--so too does the main character here who follows the trail of the underground railroad. Covers revenge and redemption, violence and peace, and in the end a bit of justice. If I had a book of matches or a lighter, I would have set fire to this book. I know I picked this book because it got good reviews. I can honestly say I will never read another book by this author. He took a great premise and he's not a bad writer but he wrote a book that is very difficult to read, let alone figure out what's going on. Ugh. Hours of my life I will never get back. A pox on you Morgan Kinneson.
