This book was so informative. I was young when a lot of the events took place but I remember being very confused about them. I thought this was a great book and everyone from McIntosh County should read it. It was cool to read about people I know. Wow!

I met Sheriff Poppell one night in 1969 when he stopped me for exceeding the speed limit in Darien, which, as I recall, dropped to 25 or so from 60, for about a quarter mile. He took me to his headquarters where, after showing me his cellblock that looked like something out of Cool Hand Luke, told me in some detail what he had done earlier that day to a black man (the Sheriff used another descriptive noun) from New York who he had caught speedingwith a .45 caliber pistol in his car. My fine turned out to be equal to the exact sum of money I had in my pocket -- $65. He gave me a receipt -- from a generic "receipt book" and sent me on my way. Quite an experience; informative, and, I don't mind saying, frightening. I haven't read "Sheetrock" but believe there likely wasn't much the man wasn't capable of.
