Being mainly a mystery/thriller reader, this was way out of my comfort zone. However, I was a history major in college with a distinct interest in the Civil Rights Era. I had passed up this book numerous times because it just didn't sound like it was a book for me. When my grandmother read it and loved it, I knew I would have to read it as well. I have never been so glad to have read a book. This was such a wonderful and hilarious (at times) read. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. It was easily readable and likable, even when some of the characters weren't very likable at times. Definitely give this book a try.

Oh, and it will make you think twice about chocolate pie :)
