Book Reviews of Junior Ray
Book Review: You Won't Soon Forget Juinor Ray Loveblood
Summary: 5 Stars
You might not want to invite Junior Ray home to meet yo mama and 'em, but I think you'll find that you cannot stop listening to him as he expounds on everything. For instance, " he was always known for having his head in a book, which is a sure sign something is wrong with your ass", or " In fact, one time a sumbich ( Juinor Ray uses that word a lot ) said to me that I was absolute proof that there wuddn no such thing as evolution. I took that as a compliment". Juinor Ray is trying to find an escaped "maniac" just so he can shoot him. Along the way he wanders around the Mississippi Delta commenting on its people and traditions. "There are almost no basements in Delta dwellings for indeed they are already living in one". He also frequently refers to Meffis, the big city in southwestern Tennessee.
He sort of defines being a racist, and in fact, there is virtually nothing to endear him to the reader. So, why did I give it five stars ? It is aamong the more creatively written books that I have come across, and his very unvarnished statements about whites, blacks ( now that word is way too politically correct for Juinor Ray ), planters and the working class are priceless. The language is a bit coarse, but fits Juior Ray's personna just fine.
The book is only 157 pages. The short time it takes to read it is very well worth it.
