I don't usually read nonfiction but, wow. Missouri is certainly spicy; as I told the author, this book had me grotesquely intrigued and happily horrified. Time for me to take a trip out to Hannibal!

Fun read. Dr. McDowell was quite the eccentric.
However, the writing style sometimes seemed a bit amateurish. Some of the citations used were not really from reputable sources either. The book went on several tangents, some of which weren't quite related to the subject at hand, but most of them were interesting nonetheless. I also didn't quite understand why the chapters were organized in the way they were. Despite these flaws, it kept me entertained for the afternoon it took to finish.
