Official Review: Bama Boy by Bobby Morrison

[Ashiyya Tariq]

The overall life story of the author is interesting but as you mentioned it should have some strong theme that push the reader to opt a book just at a glance. Thanks for this honest review.

I have read a few books that felt like a collection of memories rather than an actual story, and they weren't my favorite. Thanks for your honesty in your review!

Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your comment!

Thank you for stopping by and the review. I agree that you need something to "hold" a book together by the end.

"I do not understand the purpose of this book. It felt like a relative telling “remember when” stories at a family get together. " This statement is exactly why I did not read this book. I think a lot of memoirs end up being that way. This is a great review. I enjoyed it, and I'm glad to have read your take on it. When I saw it as book of the day, my initial inclination was a huge "no." Glad to know I wasn't too hasty and missed out on a great book.

I've seen a few books like this lately. There is no imperative or rationale offered as to why the reader should wish to learn about the author's childhood..

This one will definitely make me weary with books like this going forward. Thanks for the comment!

Thank you for the review and the extra comment. Great review! I think I'm going to look elsewhere.

I would have to disagree with your review because I had the opposite view of the book. I enjoyed your review, even though there were a little spoilers. Cheers.
