Okay, so I've had this book for, oh, let me think...12 years? That's right. Easily. And I have no idea why I waited so long to read it! It was a GREAT book. Based on a true story of someone who is shot to death. But it's so much more than that; it's a love story between the author and the city of Savannah, Georgia. And during the book, he made me fall in love with Savannah as well.
The people are so unique, the city sounds beautiful, and what happens is fascinating on so many levels. He tells the story and lays out his facts in a way that makes it seem almost like a novel, and it's not at all dry and cold facts like some other "true story" books I've read. He really weaves us into the tale.
A good book. Go out and read it.
I feel confident that I read this book...maybe 12 years ago...but I don't remember. I think I watched the movie...but I don't remember. I KNOW I visited a friend in Savannah and somehow went past the the house where the murder took place and saw some statue that Tom Hanks sat next to??? Or a bench he sat on??? Goodness, I think I need to take some of that herbal stuff of which I can't remmeber the name...but I digress. I'd like to read the book.
