" Great read on the Historic band 'The Browns'. I didn't know who they were, but now I know! "

" Very wordy. "

" Fictionalized account of the Browns of country music group that helped change the face of the music industry. "

" A novel that should have been a short story about a real 50s era singing trio called the Browns. If you're 50 or so you'll remember their songs--google 'em. The writing isn't bad, but it's just way too repetitive and obviously stretched to make a novel. "

" For the first part of this book, I didn't think the Brown family was real, and I thought, what's the point? Why didn't he just write about the Carter family and call them the Carter family? I still can't quite believe that the Brown's are real. Then I'm not sure why he didn't write this as nonfiction, though I guess the answer is because he wouldn't have been able to do a lot of the things he did in his novel. "

" My friend read this and enjoyed it. "

" Somehow this book just missed with me; Bass seemed to me to use twenty words when he could have used five. "

" Didn't live up to the hype. Read about halfway through. Might try again another day. "

" Not my favorite Bass! "

" Kinda writer-ly take on a true, fascinating story of the Browns. Wonder why it was written as a novel. Lengthy passages add little to the drive of the story, but an interesting tale. "

" 3 1/2 stars. The writing is wonderful, but Bass' style kept me at arm's length for most of the book. "

" It was interesting to read about Elvis and many other classic country bands. It was hard to distinguish what was his fictional portrayl of the Browns' and what was factual. "

" I am listening to this story of Jim Ed, Maxine, and Bonnie Brown - the Browns - in my sewing room. "

" An interesting book about the early country music business. The Browns were a real group in the early 50s, but this is purely a book of fiction. "

" I love this author but didn't love this book. I like his nonfiction better. The beginning was great. The middle stalled out and left me frustrated that I never really got to know the main characters well. A distance was maintained between the author and his subjects, due to stylistic choices. "

" Lyrical, vivid tale of a country trio's rise to almost fame. "

" I am listening to this story of Jim Ed, Maxine, and Bonnie Brown - the Browns - in my sewing room. I just wish the recorded book would include their songs like "I'm Mister Blue"!! "

" Glad I researched before I finished this book and learned that it is a real story. Listened to some of their songs on Utube. Had never heard of the Browns. What a sad story. "

" Lyrical, vivid tale of a country trio's rise to almost fame. "

" 3 1/2 stars. The writing is wonderful, but Bass' style kept me at arm's length for most of the book. "

" I think the character of Jefferson Eads might've been my favorite. He's a 12 year old boy making a movie of Maxine Brown's life - and he might've stolen the show by the end of the novel. Glad I read this. "
