I really enjoyed this atmospheric, coming of age tale set in Kentucky. It flowed well and if I was being very critical it was a little short. That’s probably just me being selfish though as I was really enjoying it. Excellent narration, Mark Hammer, if you ever listen, try and copy Tom. He’s excellent.

Great Example of JLB’s early work
