From Library Journal:
A pit bull named Alligator epitomizes the rage that Jack Purse feels toward his father, whom he blames for the loss of the family farm, for his mother's abandoning him as a child, and, in a roundabout way, for his wounds in Vietnam. Yet the two men have a common goal. Each schemes to redeem the land Jack considers his heritageJack through a marijuana crop; Dexter by pitting Alligator in a fight to the death. Jack's competitive spirit grows, yet a nagging desire to please his father draws him into preparations for the fight; and when Fate intervenes Jack proves himself to be his father's son in an ending that barely escapes sentimentality. A thought-provoking tale of father-son relationships in the deep South. Recommended. Thomas L. Kilpatrick, Southern Illinois Univ. at Carbondale Lib.
