Part I: I really enjoyed all of the folktales in this half of the book. Some even managed to get me to chuckle out loud. I did have to keep telling myself that the narrative was nonfiction even though Hurston wrote it in a fictional style.
Also, the end was crazy! What happened to Big Sweet!?


Part II: I think I enjoyed this section slightly less, mostly because
of the sheer amount of graphic animal killing there was throughout. I understand that it was ritualistic in order for the hoodoo to work, but c'mon.
I did, however, find the rituals of all of the different hoodoo practitioners to be extremely intriguing. The how-to steps in the Appendixes made me really want to try it, too.
