      Truly first rate writing. The stories he relates about boyhood with his grandfather in the outdoors are some of the finest you can find. They are well written and vivid. If you ever enjoyed a day outside then there is something for you in this book.
    • 4/5
      A fun read of a boyhood many wished they'd had.
    • 5/5
      A truly great book, Hemingway like descriptions of rural fishing & hunting and growing up in North Carolina. A must read I would think for a historical perspective of the NC coast.
