Official Review: Tales from the Riverside by Larry Landgraf

[Kister Bless]

Tales from the Riverside by Larry Landgraf sounds like an amazing read. The book is compiled of thirty-six very short stories that illustrate different facets of his life. Some are events that occurred years or even decades ago, while others are more recent. I can't wait to read it. Great review.

Tales from the Riverside by Larry Landgraf spiked my attention due to fact thats it takes place in Texas. Which is my current location. Im really interested in the Hurrican Harvey story it affected alot of people in different ways. I enjoy books in the Non-Fiction genre.

This sounds like an interesting collection of short stories about living in a Texas swamp. This was a thorough and interesting review

I got to read the first few pages of the book as a sample and it was quite informative. The wording gives the feel of a diary entry and is quite to the point.

Tales from the Riverside by Larry Landgraf sounds like very niche reading especially if you would like to submerse yourself in a different environment. It would be interesting to see how the writer keeps consistency and common thread in the 36 short stories.

Sounds really great! I’ve always loved short story books, so this one would be right up my alley.

"Tales from the Riverside" by Larry Landgraf seems interesting. stories about the swamp in Texas, Riverside to be precise. It's fascinating to hear stories like this one since I have never been there.

I think your opening statement makes the best argument for reading this book: we live in a much more diverse world than we realize, and taking the time to understand and get an insight into the lives and worldview of people who live differently than us is enriching and broadens our perspectives.
I don't care much for "lol" in books either, but it seems like it can be overlooked in this case.
Thanks for a great review.

This is a biographical non-fiction book with short stories detailing the author's adventures. The book has a free sample on Amazon Kindle and has an inciteful OnlineBookClub review which summarises the best of the book without giving spoilers. Congrats @riverrmann on the BOTD.

Wow, such an awesome adventure book which constitute of several humorous and shocking stories and backed up with an excellent review. I've never been lucky enough to get adventure stories in this forum. I look foward to reading this one.

I don't think I'll be reading this. It may be a well thought out series of short stories, but seeing as they're non-fiction about the author I'll pass. It basically sounds like a fancy autobiography, and I don't like autobiographies. That, and the apparent use of "lol" make this book a no-go for me.

I agree that swamps are dangerous and uneasy to live near with, but it is also a beautiful place to look at. This book is very interesting and informative, especially for people who likes nature and animals.

This sounds like a fascinating read for when I have just enough time to sit down and read one short story at a time. I love to learn more other cultures and localities, and this one really caught my attention. I am definitely adding it to my reading list.

[Brendan Donaghy]

I enjoyed reading the sample. I can't imagine how someone lives and thrives in that kind of swamp environment, but the author certainly seems to love the area. I fully intend to read the rest of the book. Thanks for the review!

Putting your own experiences in front of others requires more effort than others because the author has to be honest.Author has not tried to hide anything wether living in a swamp.The hurricane Harvey story fascinates me and for that I would like to read it.Great review!
