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.

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