Deep Fried - First ChapterReviews
Log-in to write a Review Log-in to add a Video ReviewReview by: Chuck Baldwin on Sep. 01, 2009 :
Nesbit is a raunchy version of Clyde Edgerton, spinning a new generation's tales of the dirty south. This was money well spent.
Review by: Hampton Terry on Jul. 31, 2009 :
Wickedly funny,terrifyingly sexy,smart and sweet all woven into wonderfully written Novel. A blast to read.
Review by: Thomas F. Cook on Jul. 18, 2009 :
Somewhere between Huck Finn and Holden Caulfield is Eddy Funderburke. This year-in-the-life novel of a fourteen year old boy with a secret lust for his mother is both extremely funny and somewhat horrifying. The combination of church group, Mountain Dew, crack whores, fiddle playing, masturbation, booze, prescription drugs, virginity and tetris made me laugh out loud.
Review by: Joshua Slater on Jul. 07, 2009 :
A clever exploration of the high drama of adolescence combined with an unflinching yet unexaggerated attention to the problems of the rural poor in America. A satisfying read and quite enjoyable.
