Book Reviews of Pontoon: A Novel of Lake Wobegon (Lake Wobegon Novels)
Book Review: The brilliance of the ordinary
Summary: 5 Stars
The wonder and excitement of ordinary, everyday life: Lake Wobegone is an unexceptional place with plain, run-of-the-mill residents where nothing of interest is supposed to happen. Yet it does. Small-town America, full of people who should have little experience of life outside their own county, let alone country, but whose small dramas and life stories make for riveting reading. Garrison Keillor's book is just like the town he writes about: the dull is interesting, the uneventful eventful and those things supposed to be wonderful and exceptional are pointless, boring and facile. This book should not be interesting, but it is, there is no grand revelation here just good, entertaining writing that had me up to the middle of the night wanting to know what happened next. Read it.
