I was a little bored with this one unfortunately. Maybe due to the genre? regardless, Im sure there is someone out there who would love it. Thanks for the read!!

This was a really well done historical fiction element that I was looking for and enjoyed from the idea of this story. The family element worked with the overall feel of this and had that element that I wanted. Jeff Barry has a great writing style and I was hooked from the first page. I’m excited for more as this was written perfectly.

Full of strange characters and complex relationships, this is an interesting but slightly challenging read. I found myself enjoying it but not being entirely sure why as it was a bit of a meandering journey.

Go to Hell Ole Miss is the best kind of Southern novel. They characters in this book are quirky, aggravating, and endearing , and easy to cheer and root for when they triumph and also when they are sad and have to do things they don't like They are all of these things, just as most humans are. This books tells the story of coming together no matter of color or race or background. Jeff Barry writes a great story!

The cover of this book is what initially interested me. Overall I really enjoyed the story and characters. I would definitely read another book by the author in the future.

Go to Hell Ole Miss is the best kind of Southern novel. The characters with all the flaws of their humanity just suck the reader into the story. They are quirky, aggravating, and endearing , and easy to cheer and root for when they triumph, mourn for in their flaws and disappointment, and even despise when they commit heartless acts. But most of these characters are realistic: They are all of these things, just as most humans are. Like most Southern literature, the family, race, and social relationships are complex, and honestly, I never got them straight in my mind. Halfway in, I finally just accepted that there were relationships and I just had to accept them. So that bothered me a little- that I couldn’t untangle these complexities, but I still enjoyed the story. Jeff Barry writes a great story!

The synopsis was intriguing, however the book itself was a huge disappointment. Poorly written, with a rambling, non- cohesive story it was a struggle to complete,
