When I found out there was a follow up to one of my favorite books of all time - Buchanan's The Corpse Had a Familiar Face - I knew I had to read it! Compared to its predecessor, Never Let Them See You Cry is a little bit disappointing. This stems from the relative paleness of the events Buchanan recounts in comparison to those shared in Corpse. However, though Never Let Them See You Cry was markedly less exciting, Buchanan did provide some interesting anecdotes about Florida history that were quite informative.
Overall, Never Let Them See You Cry is a less exciting, less interesting sequel to The Corpse Had a Familiar Face, but that doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable. If you like Buchanan's witty voice and style, you will love Never Let Them See You Cry despite the absence of particularly thrilling accounts.

I would be really curious to know what Edna would think about reporting on police activities, and police interference in coverage of protests nationwide, over the last couple years.
