Review # 1 was written on 2014-08-31 00:00:00 Mohammed Sidhu My son (just like his mom) loves Buddy Holly. So when the school provided a list of thousands of books he could choose from for his learning to read project, he chose this one. What a disappointment! The author desperately attempts to sound folksy and creates words to mimic Texas slang in a Southern twang much to the detriment of any educational value. An easy reader book should use proper language to keep from being self-defeating. My son gave up after the second page because battling the made-up words was too frustrating, and the story was lost among them.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-11-17 00:00:00 Adam Podolski "Oo-ee-oo I look just like Buddy Holly..." -stick in my head the whole time I read this book. This was interesting but I can't decide if I liked the unique writing style or hated it lol. It reads like a cowboy telling a story but also comes off kind of insulting. 🤷🏻‍♀️
