I found it interesting, charming, and delightful. It's a quick read of his life in WWII Portsmith, VA through his days of protesting for civil rights in the 60's to his acting and his time in politics and after. He did a lot. I liked reading of history through his eyes especially the civil rights movement and his time in the House of Representatives. He's done and seen a lot. It was also fun as he recalled his days on The Dukes of Hazard and the reunion and nostalgia of the show. I'm glad I read it. ( ) I finished this book the other day and I found it to be one of the best biographies I have had in a while. I don't want to spoil this book because it is filled with a ot of great information about his life, his career, and the times we are all in.The best line from the book (paraphrased): "...the entire Endowment for the Arts cost one half of one wing of one B2 Bomber." Thanks, Ben for sharing your life story. I expect another volume in a few years time. näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
An unabashed Southern redneck from a "likker drinkin', hell-raisin'" family, Jones grew up in the depressed railroad docks outside of Portsmouth, Virginia, and spent most of his days dreaming about where the tracks out of town could take him. That he would go on to become a beloved television icon on The Dukes of Hazzard and a firebrand two-term Congressman is a story that no one could have ever seen coming . . . least of all ol' "Cooter" himself.--From publisher description.
