Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Knowing early on that Pappy Shell is crazy and the Jenny Mule is smart was enough for me to take the plunge without hesitation. Full immersion followed rapidly as I soon realized that I was no longer just "reading" but rather I was living within the context of the story. At first it felt like an engaging folk tale, but gradually morphed into a compelling odyssey with an underlying universal mythos.
I remember having a corresponding experience reading John Steinbeck's Cannery Row and the sequel Sweet Thursday. So, disengagement was no longer an option; I was in it for the duration. Living with real flesh and blood characters was a welcomed relief from the current plethora of books by political, academic, and economic "gurus" endlessly pontificating, debating, and entertaining various abstractions.
Read it for your own pleasure, then share it with family, friends, your mule, dog, cat or other sentient beings. The mule, of course, may already know the story.
