Thank you to Bookishfirst for the win of Marc Hess's The Gillespie County Fair. I was really looking forward to reading this book being from Texas.
However, it did not torn out to be a book that I can say is a new favorite of mine.
I was disappointed to find that Hes did not focus more on the Texas history aspect of the story.
The plot did not seem like it flowed in a manner which lends itself to making for a clear story. One example of this , is the inclusion of "the cutting scene with Willow. This scene like it was being used as filler.
So this book is had good premises that just where not well executed. With Fredricksburg , Texas touted as a historic town i think that should have been more center stage then it seemed to be.
