I loved this book. Pip was so tender and wonderful. Interesting, heart breaking, lovely. I especially loved that I have read two books in a row where the answer to the heart breaks in life is love, always love.

I won this book on Goodreads First Reads.
At first I was unsure if this book was for me. It started out slow, and discouraged me, but the longer I stuck with it the more beautiful it became. This book is truly one of the best written and most involving book I have ever read. It sucks you in, and you can put it down. A wonderful tale full of adventure, love, loss, and the importance of family.

Poetic and thoughtful, this story quietly won me over. It wasn't a book I wanted to devour in one sitting, but the character was so different from any I've read before and the descriptions so vivid, I needed to finish.

Well written and beautifully worded story of Pip, his adventures on the rails and thoughts.

Loved this southern journey
I could not predict this book and I loved every minute of it. Only a few characters in the book are fully developed, but that is how the main character perceives the world. The author writes with rich descriptions and wit.

A beautiful, funny, quirky, tragic but ultimately heartwarming novel with the lyrical prose and startling character insights one expects from Youmans.
