The Cornbread Mafia: A Homegrown Syndicate's Code of Silence and the Biggest Marijuana Bust in American History Audiobook

" I enjoyed it very much since I am from Kentucky. "

" The Cornbread Mafia is a very interesting book for people that like books about Kentucky history, marijuana, and a little bit of violence. This book dives deep into the culture of Marion County, Kentucky and its unapologetic views on marijuana growth and cultivation - views stemming from as early as the prohibition era. The only reason I even had the idea to pick up this book is because it was recommended to me by the author's sister. I am quite glad that I purchased this book and will now recommend it to anyone that I think will enjoy it (which is most people). Take a chance on this book. You will surely walk away after reading it with a different perspective on many different issues. "

" Good book about Johnny Boone and his Minnesota connection. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story is rich with details which make it easier to envision what was going on. I read the audiobook version and had one problem.. The narrator's voice sometimes caused me to space out. It was pretty flat at times.Other than that, It's a pretty good read. "

" Interesting especially if you are from Kentucky. Open ended. It will probably be a movie someday. "

" hard to believe this is true "

" Very interesting read! Who knew there was so much pot in Kentucky!? "

" Very disappointed how this book turned out. I (like many others from Nelson/Marion County) was really looking forward to this book. It turned out to be poorly edited version of half-truths with many things totally excluded. Had high hopes for this book, but couldn't be more disappointed. "

" The book was a little slow to get started with a detailed history of the county given by the author. The main portion of the book concerning "The Cornbread Mafia" and their activities was very interesting. Then the book slows down around chapter 11 or 12 as the author tied up loose ends. "

" This book was very interesting for the first half and then seemed to get bogged down with too many names and details. "

" In the late 90's my friends all passed around "Land of Opportunity" about the crack boom in Detroit. This is the redneck version with Mary Jane instead of crack. It is fucking awesome... "

" I only made it halfway through this book. Despite the interesting subject matter (bootlegging, illegal drugs, bank robbers...), it reads like an assignment in a history class. It just couldn't hold my attention. "

" Great story and thorough reporting, but poor editing left it practically unreadable in parts, particularly toward the end. Trim it by a third and give it a tough edit and you'll have a winner.... "

" loved the history...but got bored with mafia hijinks. "

" A good read especially if you live in kentucky and are familiar with the area. "

" Loved it! More history of KY. Not proud of it but great to know. "
