“This book is definitely only for fans of "A Prairie Home Companion". At least, I think that's the case. It's hard for me to be sure since I am a fan of APHC.
If you know the show, you've heard Garrison Keillor's rambling discussions that begin, "It's been a good week in Lake Wobegon" and then weave together various stories that all wind up at a logical (more or less!) conclusion together. This book is written in the same style, which might be off-putting to some.
I enjoyed the characters enough to finish the book, which is a certain amount of praise by itself, since I'm not above walking away from a book that can't hold my interest. Hence, the three stars I've given it.”
