Book Reviews of Behind the Moss Curtain: And Other Great Savannah Stories
Book Review: Disappointing and one-sided
Summary: 1 Stars
Mr. Silver writes best when he has a real writer alongside him, as in "Great Balls of Fire" with Myra Lewis. This work is a garbled and incomplete mess. I seriously doubt a real publisher would have picked it up. Mr. Silver picked wonderful subject matter for his book, the rich and storied histories in Savannah, but he can't capture it and the book has contridictions galore. The introduction is almost unreadable, the book is often boring and not as entertaining as the personality of the author. I met him at his shop in Savannah and I heard him say over and over that evening, " I wrote Great Balls of Fire!" by way of introduction. Kind of strange, but he was engaging enough that I wanted to read this new book he was signing. "Moss Curtain" was a waste of my time and it's not worth yours.
