By the author of Ella Minnow Pea, this novel is imaginative and humorous as well...his characterization is superb. Great read.

I had first encountered Mark Dunn's writing in Ella Minnow Pea, so I was surprised and disappointed by this book. Apparently Pea is the exception, many of his other books are low humor, sexual jokes, sit-com level writing. That's the case with this. Tiring, unamusing, not a stand out piece of writing.

Dunn misses the point with this pale imitation of a Fanny Flagg novel. Giving small-town southern folks quirky names doesn't give this story any real heart.

It seems like one of those meandering-not-really-going-anywhere books at first, with lots of characters and story lines. But then, the story lines begin to intersect and the characters interact and before you know it, you're hooked. Dunn is a master of understatement and character development. This is a charming and insightful book.
