1994 Random House hardcover, with dust jacket, of the reputedly true bestseller tale of a Savannah mystery. This was made into a 1997 film starring Kevin Spacey and John Cusack, and directed by Clint Eastwood. I bought this copy a couple years ago for 25 cents from the sale shelf at Dimond Library.

Edit March 23, 2011: This started out really fascinating, as all the quirky characters and scenes were introduced, but then it sort of became tedious after a while. Plus, I found the characters to all be somewhat distasteful in a self-centered way. But overall it was a good, unique read. I wanted to get this read before I view the film again, which also left me with the same general impression, as I recall. The book, with more background detail and character logic, certainly explained some of the film's bizarre moments.

... in a bag-o-books for the next meetup of TriValley BookCrossing group, at Panera Bread, the second Tuesday of the month. If I make it out there from here by then.

Aside from loving shared books, my main passion in life is supporting the human rights work of my good friend, Anni Cyrus. 💖 💖 Her life story of survival as a childhood refugee is astounding, and quite moving!

Please look her up on Google and YouTube. You can also follow her on Facebook and Instagram, among other platforms.

Picked up at last month's meetup.
