DESCRIPTION:
Not this one. To this day, he remains the most morally bankrupt man I've ever met, yet my life wouldn't be half as blessed, had I missed out on his misguided education. Sure, Doyle was a lout, a liar, and a lecherous derelict. Welcome to Pearl's Feed and Seed Most coming-of-age stories are fraught with symbolism, hidden metaphors, and a heaping mound of other literary devices. A place where To Kill a Mockingbird involved a twelve-year-old and a BB gun. I had yet to go on my first date; he was trading sex for horse feed in the back room. Of Mice and Men was a problem easily solved with rat poison. Not mine. In the spring of 1989, I went to work at Pearl's Feed and Seed for a man named Doyle Suggs. The Feedstore Chronicles is a mostly true account of those days and when murderous ex-wives, well-hung bulldogs, and feed room fornication were all part of a normal day at Pearl's.. You see, I came of age while working at a dusty Texas feedstore. On the surface Doyle and I had little in common: I was a rosy-cheeked boy of sixteen; he was a twice-divorced, thirty-year-old high school dropout. And David Copperfield was nothing
L. Day said Through the Looking-Glass Texas Style. What are little boys made of? Not frogs and snails and puppy-dogs' tails if you're Travis Erwin and you grew up in Amarillo, Texas. "The Feedstore Chronicles" is his witty, coming-of-age story complete with headless parakeets, castrated piglets, 50 pound feed sacks, angry emus, cock fights and fist fights and pick-up truck driving, hard-living cowboys and their bosomy and equally hard living Texas women. To this suburban female Midwestern gal, reading "The Feedstore Chronicles" is like stepping through the looking-glass and finding yourself in another world filled with a zany cast of Lone Star State characters an. Texas ain't fly over Country. I have had the enjoyment of reading several of Travis Erwins writings and have found his stories tobe the stuff that will make you giggle and one in particular that made me cry. I love this young man'stalent. Keep writing Travis, we are waiting for you.. A fun read This book is laugh out loud funny. A coming of age tale set in the Texas Panhandle city of Amarillo. The author does a wonderful job of showing us how the things we do as teens shape our adult lives. He doesn't hide anything, but gives us an intimate look at the life of a teenage boy reaching for adulthood. In Erwin's case this included some of the most hilarious and entertaining incidents you could ever imagine. I am eagerly awaiting more from this author.

In other words, a fun read! This book was laugh-out-loud hilarious, to the point where my eruptions of giggling annoyed those around me! I most enjoyed the candid and unflinchingly honest recounting of awkward situations involving equally quirky and eccentric people. What are little boys made of?
