Representaion Concering Books Off Magazine Street

Fallen from grace and shunned by respectable society, Bobby Long is joyously content drowning his past in cheap hooch and bedding any woman with low standards and high tolerance. His partner, an unproductive writer named Byron Burns, is happy to join him for the long ride down. Their distant salvation is an unwritten manuscript sure to redeem their standing and pride - though both know it's just a thin reason to get up and go to the bar.

When their latest female companion dies in their fleabag hotel room, the duo find themselves putting up her young but futureless daughter, Hanna. Despite their own dishonorable intentions and aging desires, the pair cannot abide her lack of ambition and low expectations for herself. Together, they dust off their teachers' instincts and conspire to use every means necessary - legal, illegal, fair, and unfair - to get Hanna into college.

Weigh Up Epithetical Books Off Magazine Street

What an odd book. Not one that I could really recommend in good conscience. Lots of language and innuendo. There's a good message somewhere in the story of these two men's sad lives, but it's buried pretty deep. Whoever proofread this book seemed to have fallen asleep on the job. There were so many inconsistencies in how things were spelled and in the grammar and punctuation that it was distracting.

A Love Song for Bobby Long has been my favorite movie since I first watched it, which made reading this book scary, for fear that it would ruin the movie for me. At first the fact that there is a good bit of difference between the storylines bothered me, but there are enough similarities to make it feel comfortable. My love for these characters comes from their deeply flawed and broken, yet not quite devoid souls. Their own drinking and perversion never ceased, their careers and social standing

Completely different from the movie. This is a gritty depiction of an alcoholic life. It is a sort of love story, but not a romance except with booze and surface pleasures. The writing is descriptive and characters are rich and well though out. This is not a make you feel good book, rather a make you wince and think book. It is exceptional at shedding a light on "the invisible" people.

The story is an interesting one, and I loved the movie made "loosely" based on this book, but I found Capps' writing not of particularly high quality, and his dialogue somewhat clunky and repetitive. Unlike other reviews, I do not find the comparative increase of lechery from film to book an inherent problem, but the (lack of) style and flow of Capps' prose made the quality of the plot and characterization somewhat irrelevant.

A story about educated drunks, with big brains, hearts, and good intentions. Bukowski-grimy, with lots of literary references, and a sweet story of a young woman trying to believe in herself.
