The book was really interesting in the fact the author Bille Letts did such a wonderful job throught out the whole book. The first couple chapters are boring and hard to get into but after that the book is really interesting. It is one of the books that is hard to put down and before you know it's 2a.m. Honestly this is one of the best books I have ever read, and I have not read that many books on my own free time that has not been assignment given by one of my professors. If you have not gotten a chance to read Where the Heart Is you should pick up a copy!!!!
