Most coming-of-age stories are fraught with symbolism, hidden metaphors, and a heaping mound of other literary devices. Not this one. Not mine. You see, I came of age while working at a dusty Texas feed store. A place where To Kill a Mockingbird involved a 12-year-old and a BB gun. Of Mice and Men was a problem easily solved with rat poison. And David Copperfield, nothing more than a dude that made shit disappear.
The Feedstore Chronicles is a mostly true account of my education amongst murderous ex-wives, a well-hung bulldog, and feed room fornication.

The Feedstore Chronicles (Audible Audio Edition) Travis Erwin Barbadum Books in conjunction With Wayne Hughes Audio Books Reviews
The Feedstore Chronicles is one great read and I read through in one sitting because I couldn't put it down. When I finished, my only regret was that the book didn't continue for another 200 pages.
I'm always looking for a book that can take me to a new world populated with fascinating characters and The Feedstore Chronicles delivers exactly that. Set in the Texas Panhandle, this coming of age story features, in the author's own words, one of the most morally bankrupt men you will ever meet as a mentor. But despite that, the reader soon grows to like the infamous Doyle Suggs and sympathize with the narrator as he struggles to find guidance. Not to mention a wide ranging supporting cast of fauna including bull snakes, emus, zebras, headless parakeets and prize winning pigs.
Alternately raucous and hilarious, the Feedstore takes you to rural Texas where the winds never stop blowing and some of the characters never stop spinning yet another seduction scheme. A definite five star book, and I'd give it six if I could.
As a person from the South (but not Texas) I can attest to the wealth of great stories that come from growing up in a country and/or agriculture and/or cowboy subculture. Travis Erwin pillages the rich stores of these environments to create a tale that will simultaneously make you cheer that someone was witness to the events at the same time you're thanking God that it wasn't you.
Being a native Texan I can identify with all of the characters. The book is very entertaining. The fears and desires of the average teenage boy ring true, whether it is about the first paying job, friends that get you in trouble, or trying to summon enough courage to ask a girl for a date. Along the way, amid the laughter you realize what a talented writer Travis is. I recommend this book to everyone.
This is a wonderful read, and while I expected it to bring the funny, there is a lot of heart to be found as well. The cast of characters is wonderfully written and eccentric enough that I was grateful for the chance to know them on paper without having to endure them in real life (the follow-up blurbs were an especially nice touch). If you have a soft place in your heart for the racy humor that goes hand-in-hand with teenage angst you will not be disappointed. Nor will you ever look at chicken feed the same way again ;)
Above and beyond everything else, it is clear in every word that this was written with true fondness, and that made it a joy to read. Great characters, some of whom you can probably have a beer with if you're ever in Texas (how many books can offer that?), and stories that made me laugh loud enough to wake up the other members of my family made it a win for me.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very well-written (a few minor typos aside) and the story was engaging. Each character is easy to distinguish (but I guess since it's a memoir and not fiction, it was easier to do). The author has done an excellent job and I will recommend this book to my friends. I may have not read and reviewed many books on , but this is the first 5-star review I have ever given.
This book was laugh-out-loud hilarious, to the point where my eruptions of giggling annoyed those around me! I most enjoyed the candid and unflinchingly honest recounting of awkward situations involving equally quirky and eccentric people. Travis Erwin's engaging, heartfelt writing gets you hooked (shocked) from page one, keeps you entertained (in a morbidly curious way), and by the end, you feel like taking your new buddy Travis out for a beer. A fabulous read, highly recommended!
Travis Erwin's semi-memoir The Feedstore Chronicles is a fictionalized account of his coming-of-age, set around his high school job in the Texas panhandle. It's laugh-out-loud funny, and funny doesn't come easy. Sure, some of the humor is crude. Okay, pretty much all of the humor is crude. There are a couple scenes that make fart jokes seem like church talk, one involving a bulldog. But it is funny, and it's the voice with which Travis describes the awkward situations that makes the narrative so compelling. His writing is natural, witty, and full of heart. There are a few issues with commas, which the author himself points out at one point in the book, but that didn't lessen the impact of the situational humor or the witty voice.
I recommend this for anyone looking for a laugh.
