This " Somewhat True Story" is full of Tall Tales. Its a cute story but I found it to be boring at times. I find it hard to believe a bank robbery, explosion of a sock mill, bootlegging, kidnapping, serial killer, ghost, and crime duo just to name a few, all happened to one couple and their alligator & chicken all in a two week period. I appreciate the photos in the back of the book, interestingly there are no photos of Albert. Things that make you go hmmmmmm.
