Witty and fun novel which tells its story in the dialect of a southern hillbilly. Fast paced and approachable read

I first read this as a teenager, and I think I chuckled constantly through the whole book. I've since read it a couple more times, and it was as funny the third time as is my memory of the first. The combination of country, small-town naïveté and the occasional glimpses of wisdom learned from a hardscrabble life of work and sacrifice also made this book and it's characters special to me.

One of the rare occasions that the movie was an improvement from the book.

Levin did a fantastic job turning this into a play. Laughed out loud more than 3 times. Great final scene. Fun read.
