This book was on someone's list of good books so I added it to my paperbackswap.com wish list. Received it sometime in the last year or so and finally cracked it open about 2-3 months ago. I generally am a regular reader--not necessarily every day but at least a couple times a week I'll go somewhere for coffee and will read. If a book really engages me, I can easily finish a 500-pager in a week. After 2-3 months with this book, I'm only up to page 85. At least a month ago I set it aside, read a 300+ thriller in less than a week, and started another book. I can't muster any enthusiasm to finish this book. It's not a bad book but I think it would be more interesting to blues afficionodos and/or Muddy Waters' fans.
