Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin 

I spied this one on the blogs last summer (Bermudaonion's review here) and it sounded great so, when it went on sale on Kindle not long ago, I snatched it right up. I was not dissapointed. I loved how the characters of Silas and Larry evolved during the story - it's coming of age, it's racial tension, it's alcohol and drugs and murder but from that darkness comes light and I was really sad to see the book come to an end. Loved it.

I'm so glad you loved this! I did too.

One of those that is very popular...but I didn't like it at all.
The beauty of books!

Glad to see your review of this one. It's a book I've seen mentioned on blogs and that shows up in my Amazon "recommendations" occasionally. I'll have to keep it in mind.

I absolutely LOVED this book - I think it was my absolute favorite read of 2011! So glad to see that you enjoyed it as well.

I read the sample of it, and bought the full book immediately. After reading a few disappointing stories and losing hope on finding a good one, this was AH-MAZING! I read the last 40 pages late at night with my eyes feeling like sandpaper...just to find out what happened. My only issue is that it wasn't long enough!

On to 2011!
