This was a recommendation from a book-seller friend of mine, and it's a good book. It follows a preacher's boy though his young years and into college, featuring the character's Saul moment as the scales fall from his eyes and he views the wide world uncolored by his father's fundamentalism. That would have been enough to endear the book to my heart. But it's also quite funny, the boy's hi-jinx causing me to laugh aloud while reading. My favorite line from the book, "He was experienced in proving he had not committed crimes he hadn't even heard about. That was what being a preacher's kid meant - existing in a state of guilt from which escape was only temporary and irregular."
