Piece Of Books Crazy in Alabama

Great story, absolutly funny in a dark humor kind of way. Part coming of age, this book is narrated by a young boy who tells a tale of the racially divided time bomb of the 1950's-60's, as well as the story of his aunt who has killed her husband and taken off to Hollywood to be a movie star- but brings along her husbands head in a tupperware bowl. If you ever saw the horrible movie based on this book, forget it. The book is unbelievably better.

Wiley and Peejo (short for Peter Joseph) are living with their grandmother, Meemaw during the sixties because they loss their parents in a car crash. Everything is going smoothly until Lucille, their aunt pays a visit with her six kids and informs them that she's killed her husband, Chester. They don't believe her until she pulls his head out of a Tupperware container. She takes off for Hollywood, leaving her six kids with her mother and has an adventure from Alabama through Louisiana on her way



Full Review to follow.

This is my second reading of this book, the first being many years ago. Of course, I remembered the Tupperware container, and I remembered the swimming pool integration and all it entailed, but for the life of me, I could not remember the ending. I was a little disappointed in the Judge at Lucille's trial, but all in all, pretty satisfying.Long story short, Lucille feeds her husband rat poison, cuts off his head, puts it in a green Tupperware Lettuce Keeper (you know, the one with the burp and

This story isctold throygh 2 characters. Lucille & Peejoe. The first few chapters were ridiculous. A woman who kill her husband and carries his head in a Tupperware lettuce keeper. Then we are into the civil rights movement 1960s Alabama! Love Peejoe ,Uncle Dove and Wiley. I was even rooting for Lucille, aka: Carolyn Clay. A surprise ending, sad nonetheless. My favorite chapters were told by Peejoe.

Loved loved loved it!! What a crazy mix of tragedy, history, humour and hilarity! A big thank you to my sister-in-law, Lisa, for recommending this book. I probably would have never picked it from the shelf on my own. Now I am very much looking forward to reading other books by Mark Childress.
