5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and moving with many laugh-out-loud moments
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2016

The Adventures of an Arkansawyer made me nostalgic for the days of my childhood. Despite the difference in locale (Arkansawyer is set mostly in rural US, I'm from the Caribbean) there were so many commonalities that it was somewhat startling. My great-grandmother lived on a small farm--and how well I remember the animals with their personalities and sometimes annoying, sometimes endearing quirks. As for the people? Seems people are much the same everywhere.

This memoir is written with such humor and sensitivity that I could not help but be charmed. The section "Days of Beer" is a riot! I'm a fan of the memoirs of Farley Mowat (The Dog Who Wouldn't Be), Bill Bryson (A Walk in the Woods) and Gerald Durrell (My Family and Other Animals). Gramlich's memoir contains elements of these other favorites of mine and will not disappoint lovers of the genre. An entertaining and moving book that I recommend highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Book

A memoir of sorts from the author.

The first section was previously released as an ebook titled DAYS OF BEER, though here it's been expanded with fresh stories. I could relate to many of Charles' adventures, having been through similar experiences. Others were uniquely his, just as I could probably mention few personal to only me.

The second section using the book title, covers a wide range of subjects from growing up on a farm in Arkansas, and the adventures and terrors a young boy can run into there, to his college life. Again, so much that he went through was close to me that they drew smiles as they set off my own memories.

The book is never dull and kept me reading, smiling, laughing, commiserating on parts that were more serious.

A fine piece of writing.

At times I broke out in laughter (not an easy thing to get me to do), at other times it was quite sad. Either way, I'm glad that I read this book!

Takes me back to my own childhood experiences in the country with plenty of laughs about beer drinking, family antics, chicken-plucking and egg-stealing snakes and animals. Charles Gramlich provides a good old country tale of hard work and fun times with family and friends as he wends his way to and through a university education. A good dose of Arkansas life from the 1960's onward.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rich and fun narrative
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2015
This is a fast, well-written read, at times poignant and at times hilarious. It's a series of vignettes that describe a rural coming of age in a place and time unfamiliar yet fascinating to this urban reader. Although Gramlich swears it's all true, it reads like a detail - rich series of brilliant short stories. I am awaiting volume two!
