I HAD TO READ THIS BOOK FOR MY COLLEGE CLASS AND AT FIRST I DID NOT WANT TO , BUT THEN I LEARNED TO APPRECIATE IT. OUR TEACHER DID NOT SAY A WHOLE LOT OF GOOD , BUT I HAD TO TELL THE CLASS THAT I THOUGHT IT WAS A WORK OF ART. I WANTED TO CALL HIM UP AND TELL RICK BRAGG THAT TOO. GOOD JOB!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Drake
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.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Diane
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!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Shelley
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.
