Very informative
This book was very informative and reliable concerning AR trees, shrubs and vines. However, the majority of the pictures show only fruit or flowers for a particular species and at certain times and locations neither can be found on a given plant.Needs more photos of identifiable leaf structure and arrangement. ...

Product Description
What would you do if your name was "lil big sexy" and you were a 28-year-old virgin and the first girl you ever slept informed you the next day that she was a "Nixon-lesbian"? What would you do if you lived in your parents' basement and your genteel, Christian mother followed you around all day singing spirituals and telling you that you weredemon-possessed ? You'd probably drive up to Pittsburgh and go to a couple of raves with your friend and role model, the Great Gnu."Fat on the Vine" appeals to readers who fancy themselves as underdogs. It's about drugs, self-hatred and obsession. It's written without social filter or shame. The novel is as beautiful as it is disturbing. ... Read more

Fabulous!
Not for the literary faint of heart.And maybe not for the literary.And maybe not for the politically correct, snobbish, intellectuals, or the "happy ending"-cravers.Maybe not for the "ending"-cravers, either.This book is different from any book I've ever read--it is brutally honest/confessional nonfiction (or is it fiction?), breaks all the rules then breaks them again, and is unapologetic about it all.There are hilarious moments and terrifyingly sad moments.It is not a book someone can "skim" through--emotionally, or in time itself.

A Misanthropic Masterpiece
I bet you've never read a novel like this one.I know I haven't.I first read this in manuscript form a few years back and found it amazing.I'm very happy that it's out in book form finally.I'm rereading it currently, and it holds up very well, so well I may like it even better this time around.There are many places that this novel makes me laugh out loud, and there are many places where this novel makes me shake my head in disgust, and sometimes those are the very same scenes!If you like Henry Miller, Charles Bukowski, or Kathy Acker, then you'll probably enjoy this novel.It's not for the faint-hearted.I suppose transgressive would be the word, except the narrator for all his criminal activities, lustful ambitions, and subversive thoughts, maintains a virginal core of innocence and sweetness that makes him charming.The plot is basically that the love of the narrator's life has left him and he's trying to win her back by writing the book.Mostly though it's a stream of consciousness account of the narrator's life somewhat akin to a Proust book if he was from Dixie and took too much LSD.The individualistic punctuation and deliberate misspellings might turn some readers off but anyone who sticks with it will be on one of the literary adventures of a lifetime.This is an underground classic.It's bound to be controversial as it attracts more attention, but anyone who finishes it will find it oddly heart-warming.I'm friends with the author so I probably can't be completely objective, but I think anyone who likes what Crazy Carl would call "party stories" or likes to root for the underdog will dig this book a lot. ...

Great resource
I love this book, I had the priviledge of meeting Carl G. Hunter a couple of years ago and am very proud that he has done such a great job on producing this book. If you are in Arkansas, this book is still available at most State Parks, though at the original sale price. ... Read more
