The Wettest County in the World: A Novel Based on a True Story by Matt Bondurant

3.0

I wanted to love this book given the topic and the fact that I was a big fan of the movie version, Lawless. In the end this book and its characters are sad and boring without any real adventure, and the whole thing falls flat. I give it three stars because the story itself is fascinating, and I've always enjoyed reading about this time period. But dang if this book isn't a snoozer.
