Query: A good beginning.

This is a very good way for a new novelist to start his writing career. Doster is excellent at capturing some of the eccentricities that exist along the Georgia coastline. His depictions of Georgia's aristocracy, Gullah culture, backwoods politics, and natural wonders is fairly accurate. And the plot is just plain entertaining: from the time Ensworth is dumped on the dying Dixie Highway until he waves goodbye to Lord Baltimore, the comic misadventures just keep coming. If I had one complaint about this book, it would be that the final three chapters seem a little rushed. Perhaps the editor demanded some cutting or there were deadlines to meet, but some more time spent on Ensworth and Lord Baltimore's time in Savannah would have lead to a more satisfying conclusion. Don't misunderstand, this is still a very good first effort from a promising new writer that is well worth the time and money spent.
