A review by beastreader
The Tilted World by Tom Franklin

3.0

I like reading historical time piece stories. This book really intrigued me. While I did enjoy the story, I did not enjoy it as much as I had hoped. The only two characters that drew me into their world was Dixie Clay and Ingersoll. Otherwise I was not that interested in the rest of the cast. If this story had just been about Dixie and Ingersoll than I would have liked it better.

The world that the two authors built as the background for the book was great. This book is almost a non-fiction only this book has elements of fiction in it. However Dixie Clay and Ingersoll could be anyone...your neighbor, friend, relative. This book moved at a nice steady pace. Would have liked the story to move faster. I have never read anything by either of these authors but I could tell that they shared some good chemistry. They just meshed well together. I did get Beth Ann's influence as a poet in this book. There were times when it did read kind of like poetry.
