"It's such an adventure to read and learn what it was like living that life in the around the 1920's, not to mention Guthrie's way with words, a true poet. Loved It!"
"I expected a lot more from this book. It's horribly written, all, not surprisingly, in folksy working-man slang. It comes across as completely contrived and makes very a difficult read. There's no story. Not a book that has held up well."
