Summary: Suffering
Review: This book is an amazing tragedy, about how the city took a family from the south, and literally destroyed them, from every angle imaginable (in spirit and in heart). Iceberg is able to capture the pain dramatically.

Summary: I couldn't put this book down!
Review: well as you can see from the past reviews, the story is about a southern family, warning, the dialog is not only very southern but almost like ancient southern. to be honest its a little difficult to follow at times, i found myself re-reading several sentences for their true meaning but something about the way i felt after i finished reading it caused me to have to write this review. it was very saddening but it also made me see the suffering and the pain invovled in the drag lifestyle. if youre not a part of the life it can be hard to understand why someone would put themselves through so much, much like sweet peas mother tried to warn him against for many years. tragically its a true story (hint: his nickname was sweet pea. dont call a son sweet pea for future references) i could really feel how he wanted to do the right thing but he got caught up in becoming pretty like a woman and ultimately imiataing a woman. imagine that in those days, i can only sympathize. if nothing else at all, the book was extremely extremely touching..
