We Be Big - Rick and Bubba

We Be Big (Rick and Bubba)  -


Book Description:
We Be Big is not only the story of how Rick Burgess and Bill "Bubba" Bussey got started in the radio buissness but about their lives. If you think that autobiographies are boring, you will be very surprised with this book! I can promise you that!

Rick and Bubba frequently speak about their faith.

None.


Acoholic/Drug Content:

Conclusion:
Even though there was some questionable content, I really enjoyed the book. When I first started reading it I thought I was going to have to make myself get through it, but by chapter two I was addicted! :)
Plus the book had large margins! The font was a little small but not too bad...
And if your know my preference for books you'll understand why I said that!
