I downloaded this as a freebie, but rest assured that I will soon want it on my bookshelf. If a book lands on my bookshelf, then it is there to stay.

Some might think the family is ridiculous or that Bella is immature, but hey, a lot of us southern families are like that. We live life to the fullest; we are loud; we love immensely; and we love our Lord. We aren't called the Bible Belt for nothing!

Thompson's book takes a fresh and absolutely hilarious approach to a transplanted Italian family in a southern Texas town. But it isn't too farfetched to see Italians and Cowboys together, I mean, hey, they make the best cowboy boots this side of Sunday --or case may be, this side of Texas.

The cliches used in the book? Well, we are known for using them so it makes it believable. The riotous family? Ha! Sounds a lot like mine!
The mix-up about deejay and D.J.? Yup, not surprising. And how the family just pulls him into the fold? Perfect!

The Christian references: praying, singing, rehabilitating a dog and a parrot? Sounds like a normal life to me. As a Christian, it isn't unusual to talk like that. Faith defines those who truly walk His path.

Fools Rush In is a great and awesome book to read. It kept me up well into the night laughing and giggling. I might have been able to guess what was going to happen next. Made it even more delightful to learn that I was correct in my assumption. This story had me turning the pages (or in this case, hitting the arrow key) as fast as I could! I look forward to reading more of Thompson's books. This is one book I will highly recommend!
