Great read. I don't recall enjoying a book more than this one. Bragg is a brilliant writer who commands his reader's full attention. This one's definitely a re-read.

UNBELIEVABLE BOOK! I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER ENJOYED A BOOK SO MUCH AND I AM AN AVID READER AND HAVE READ A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING! I AM ALSO A SOUTHERNER AND NATURALLY ENJOY RICK'S WRITING EVEN MORE BECAUSE OF THAT. PLEASE KEEP ON WRITING RICK - WE LOVE YOU IN MOBILE!

This book was wonderfull. I was touched by the respect he has for his mother. My children must read this book. It does stay with you long after it is finished.

The greatest thing a book can do is make us think. All Over But the Shoutin' made me think - made me laugh - made me cry. I grew up in the same valleys as Rick Bragg, and the painful song he sings in his book will soon be forgotten if not for the work of authors like him. Sadly beautiful best describes the book.

Rick Bragg's book was exceptional. The words just seemed to lift from the page and involve you in it so much that you felt like a member of the family. He allowed you to relate to his experiences and also feel a little sorry for him at the same time. The way he reaches out to you, the reader, is like no other. The effects of his story will draw you to tears.

Rick Bragg made me realize that not all people have it easy. His memoir made a strong impact on my life. I now realize that many people go through difficult times...it makes me grateful for everything that I have
