Review :Tales from the Riverside by Larry Landgraf.
Life has different spheres,different scopes. Larry in his book,presents to us a peculiar sphere--living in a swamp.
Tales from the Riverside is a story which carries the horrific beauty of living in a swamp He tells us of his background, family, marriage, divorce and lifestyle, all in relation to the swamp.
The reader is calmed at first at its rural setting. But when he reads of the hurricane experience, killerbees, alligators, snakes and so on, he is tensed.
Life lessons are brought out that one has to be fearless and dependent on oneself. Larry, also uses pictorials to relate to his readers. He even exclaims and chastises himself at times, making the book a little interesting.
I will rate the book 4 out of 4 stars. The book is well edited and excellent.

I have always found reading about the lives of others interesting. Your review has me intrigued on reading more about Mr. Larry Landgraf. I worked a call center that took calls for thosei making insurance claims for Hurricane Harvey, and I think it would be interesting to see how someone had lived through the hurricane.

Thank you for your review it has made up mind to read this book. I think it will be interesting to see how someone lives in the swamps, and is able to raise a family there.

Never thought about life in the swamp will sound interesting. I like that the author was able to share his story. Added pictures will make the more engaging. Since the memoir is just thirty-six short stories, I think I'll check it out. Thanks for the review.
Feeling upset sometimes may be unavoidable, but acting distressed is always optional.

This collection of adventurous short tales from the author's personal life, who lives in a swampy environ where creatures like killer bees and snakes are common, intrigues me. Thank you for the review!
The disappearance of the word "I am" is indeed the highest happiness! :)
