The Kid Stays in the Picture
dizz avatar reviewed on + 631 more book reviews


This is a book that, like its author, has no middle ground: you either love it or you can't stand it. Told (not just read) by the author in his smoky truck-on-gravel voice, it is touching, horrifying, hilarious, moving, charming and hair raising all at once. Evans is a unique man who lived a unique life in a unique time. He brings his version of the people he knew and the way he has lived to life. I love it & have listened to it many times - but be warned, your mileage may vary.
