Sam 5/6
ReplyDeleteThe Mad Man of Piney Woods was an enjoyable book so I give it a 7/10. In my opinion it could use some more humour because having your Grandma chasing you down the street is funny, but aside from that there were no other funny parts. I did like the part where the Madman was dying but not because it was sad but really brought out the real personality in Spencer, Benji, Patience and Stubby. I also like how you get to learn about the Buxton's history like how the civil war and the Mad Man were related. This book is for anyone who wants an interesting historic book.
