Rating:  - Yeah it's disturbing
I wasn't too crazy about this one. Goines usually sets his stories in the inner-city, but he decided to go into the swamps of Mississippi for this one. George(Swamp Man) watches his little sister get brutally raped at the hands of some white boys, and he slowly plots his revenge. Some of the scenes in the book will disturb you. I've read all 16 of his books, and this was the last I read and thought I had read it all until I read this.

Reading about a rape for about sixty percent of the book should drain the average person out. Reading about a situation where the father is murdered is one thing, but the two ... Read More
Rating:  - Swamp Man gets his revenge!
Swamp man is the fourth Donald Goines book I've read and like the other books, the story is too good to put down. The way the characters in this book use different racist slang towards the black people in this town (I lost count at four) was a realistic view of people in the south at the time. It was sad to read what happened to his sister and how she was brutally raped over and over again by men who had no heart at all. I wish that the ending could have ended on a happier note, but this Donald ... Read More
