The Legend of Juggin Joe Joseph Peter Yakel Lulu Press ISBN: 1-4116-2588-9 Fiction, Humor, Culture Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

The Legend of Juggin Joe is the narration of this man’s life and how he came to be born, was raised, and showed a special spark that eventually led the man to become Juggin Joe of Juggin Joe an’ his Buckboard Band. This narrative is written in regional speech patterns as if an elderly relative or neighbor was telling the story. Many of the situations written into this narrative are extremely amusing. Translating a lot of the text in order to actually understanding the story is often a humorous task in itself.

My favorite parts of this story include the Froggin Incident, The Weddin Calamity, and Joe Ends the Cold War. I also loved the album cover, very classy ‘Til the Cows Come Home. I swear after reading this book you’ll end up with an accent.
