Book Review of Cataloochee

Cataloochee
Cataloochee
Author: Wayne Caldwell
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
Helpful Score: 1


Well written book about the backwoods people in North Carolina. However, I wanted more information on most of the characters. There was too much jumping around, and too many characters whose stories were undeveloped. A pleasant read nonetheless and if you're from the region I think you'll really like it, as it does not make fun of these peoples but gives credence to their views and way of life. Nonetheless, I would still call it a born classic and a masterful debut for a new author.
