review 1: The book cover of this book totally pulled me in - 4 kids in a small row boat and a half of a big white fish and a tree branch with spanish moss hanging down. This was a fun read from start to finish and a quick read at that. I couldn't put it down. I started it thinking I'd read 2-3 chapters and the next thing I was half-way through it. Well, why stop then. Anything I would have done sooner could wait that bit longer for me to finish :) Elvira Brown, her brother Sawyer, his friend Nose, and their cousin Truman are a fun bunch to be around. I thought the first three were a bit more rounded out than the cousin. Then there is Mrs. Brown who was a bit of a cliche and Nose's grandfather who was the grandfather you'd want in any book or family. But their adventure is f... moreun with just the right amount of daring and danger. I would definitely follow more escapades with this group.
review 2: What a great story! Elvira, a smart pistol of a girl, tells the wild tale of she, her brother, and a couple of friends fishing for Ol' One-Eye, a legendary giant catfish with a supernatural bent. Part fish-story, part ghost story, part tall tale, part old-fashioned high adventure, and part redemption tale, this story set in rural Mississippi is exciting and thought-provoking. The narrator does a good job with the accents. I find that I like using audio books when an accent is going to add to the authenticity of the story. less
