Crazy in Alabama by Mark Childress
3.0

This was my second Childress novel read, and I liked it much more than "One Mississippi". If anything, this novel is even more unbelievable - Peejoe's aunt cuts off her husband's head and carries it in a hatbox to Hollywood with her. However, that crazy element gives the story depth and a little humor, which is a nice contrast to the story of Peejoe, left back in the South to deal with the race issues that run so deeply there.
