Members Reviews:

Great job taking me back to simpler times by an excellent author.

I loved reading My Brother's Story and it took me back to my great-grandparents time and country living. My great-grandparents had a farm in Hickman County which is a neighboring county to Maury County and close to Columbia. It took me back to wonderful times I had on that farm and remembering how their water was spring fed (and never turned off). Although I did not have a twin I could relate to having a brother and the special ties that Johnny and Will felt. And of course remembering the mischief my brother and I got into and the switches we got on bare legs. Once I started reading the book I couldn't put it down. I look forward to reading the next story in the series (The Dead House). Great job by an excellent author.

Wonderful Read

Have you ever sat on a parent or grandparent's knee and been lulled into an evocative story conjured to help remember family lore? My Brother's Story by Allen Johnson Jr. is such a tale and has the reader feeling himself or herself a cherished child again, well cuddled with an ear against a chest and hearing the cadences of the much loved voice of a dear storyteller. Dally awhile in this charming tale of adolescent adventure and brotherly love, recommended for young and old, but especially for any parent searching for a story of bygone days where characters, such as Johnny ad Will, exemplify ideals of goodness, courage, and honesty. Mr. Johnson has penned a captivating yarn set in the Old South that draws one into recollections of an idyllic childhood where anyone should want to idle away some lovely hours.

Just plain fun

A captivating story written so that the reader "gets to know" the characters and come to love most of them. It also communicates some of the valuable aspects of human relationships. It would seem to be most appealing to the ten to seventeen age group, but would be much enjoyed by readers of any age. Just plain fun to read. It would be a good addition to school libraries.

Five Stars

Couldn't put it down

I loved this book!

What a great read! I found myself reading the story aloud, tickled by Allen Johnson's charming southern dialects. It's a lovely, meaningful story, for both young and old alike. I'm excited to read more from this gifted writer!
