Book Reviews of Mississippi Sissy
Book Review: Just wasn't that impressed
Summary: 2 Stars
I was looking foreward to reading this book, but frankly was disappointed. It all seemed a bit manufactured, as if somebody was repeating a story they had once heard their friend tell after he heard it from his grandmother. Perhaps the author is too far removed from the events. The book wasn't terrible, it was just one of the few books where it never once occured to me to lend it out to a friend.
