Summary: Made me wanna run to Georgia!
Review: A bit slow at 1st but it caught me so much I couldn't put the book down. I loved the humor despite the serious nature of the events. The characters were described so well I felt sad, happy and "lovingly" attached to them.

Summary: The Best Book I have Read In A While, If Not The BEST EVER!
Review: This book was superb. Berendt has great writing techniques, and the book gives the feel of a superb novel, when it is non fiction. The characterization is so well done, I feel like I know each character. The book was great, and even inspired me to take a historical tour down in Savannah, when I live in NJ!

Summary: Wacky, Tongue-in-cheek, fun
Review: I know there are many fans of this work out there. Some people just don't get it and it's a shame to have missed this delightful train ride through a strange and hysterical world. Johnny Mercer..I hear the name and laugh. Henry Cocaruso...what a treasure!!!!I laughed out loud. A real treat for the mind.

Summary: I live in the South, and this book pegs us..we're caught
Review: If you have visited Savannah you travel the story in your mind. If you are not from the South, get a picture book of Savannah before you dive in. Savannah is unique, almost like the city I live in. Untill the old families died off, and the younger generation took over, we stayed pretty much isolated in a bottle and prevented growth to avoid outsiders.You can feel the Africian influences that are in this book, this culture is truly real and resembles the culture of New Orleans. Read it, then visit Savannah, you won't be dissapointed.

Summary: I'm not finished but can't put the book down....
Review: The best quality of this book is that the story did really happen. There was really a "lady chablis", Hansford could have really performed felatio on Williams (or vice versa?), and an eccentric, fairy-tale character like Minerva actually is living today.

Summary: Slow and boring.
Review: I read the whole book, but it took days to finish. I found it very easy to put down and walk away from. I was very disappointed. After all the publicity and great reviews, I expected to be captured and unable to stop reading...Wrong.

Summary: From a Savannah native
Review: I bought Midnight in the Garden partly because of the Savannah element and partly because I heard great reviews. I have never been so disappointed in a book. The only good thing about it is the catchy title and the picture on the cover. The characters were unbelievable, the story impossible to follow, and, if this is Savannah it is certainly not the Savannah I know.

Summary: wonderful engorging best nonfiction I've ever read must read
Review: Midnight in the garden of good and evil is the best nonfiction book i've ever read and is exciting but also a little strange. Once you start you can't stop reading it. John Berendt shows the wonderful culture of Southern life in an exposed explicit view of Savannah. Wonderful wonderful book!! You must read it!!!!!!!
