Lake Wobegon Days

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
What a charming book this was. The tale of a fictional small town in Minnesota, that started life as a radio show monologue (and continues) and has been expanded into this book, the entire history of the town of Lake Wobegon. The detail and characterisations are incredible, leading many to ask, is this really fiction? It was a pleasure to read, covering the founding of the town through to near present day, and the trials and tribulations of nearly every inhabitant within. Recommended to everyone, a warm and amusing read.
