“William L. Garner’s first novel, Me, Boo, and the Goob: A Southern Adventure is as refreshing as a mint julep on a Mississippi Delta day. Laugh out loud funny in many places, Garner’s tales of an adventurous ten year old and his friends are relayed with the innocence that we experience as children, but somehow manage to lose as we move into the adult world. “ – Beth Moroney The Alternative Press
“Wonderful story of childhood in a less technical world, when kids had independence to try play and get into difficult situations often through naiveté. Clean fun and wonderful characters at home in Mayberry or other small towns, Real danger enter into the life of the boys when they encounter a bank robber venting his hatred towards them throughout the story; a truly laugh out loud tale that would be a wonderful movie like “The Christmas Story”. The surprise at the ending is superb but I cannot hint because the moment is worth the boys troubles. A keeper of a book!!!”
“I haven’t laughed that hard while reading since I was a child! Masterful storytelling, you feel like you are part of the story, and invested in the outcome. Anyone that ever made questionable decisions during adolescence will enjoy and relate to the shenanigans that ensue. This book captures a simpler time in
both youth and the world in general, enjoy the trip!”
“Great read! Very adventurous and entertaining! It was great going back in time to no real technology! When kids went outside and used their imagination and found things to “get into”! I recommend this book to any adult or even adolescents that loves a great adventurous and comical read!”
“Great southern boy story with all kinds of adventures! Not for the faint-hearted! Seriously, a good story about a boy who tries to do the right thing, but ends up in a mess!”
“I met the author, William Garner, while leaving a restaurant where we both dined. I was given his card and asked if I would read his book and rate it. Not expecting a great read, surprisingly, It was the most entertaining book I have ever read. Reading three or four books a week I must say this book was most delightful – I haven’t laughed so much in a long time, and hope there will be a sequel.”
“Who in the hell thought that putting a school in a haunted house was a good idea?” A perfect Saturday read that took me back to my childhood!”
“Never in my life have I laughed so hard out loud while reading a book! “
“Fast paced story of the trials and tribulations that face a group of young friends growing up together. This book brought back similar fond memories of days long past but not forgotten “playing outside”. The twist and turns keep things lively and humorous.”
“I’m so glad I’m not that kid’s father.”
