Negative Positive
Title: Lake Wobegon It's Not!
Review: The comparisons to G. Keillor on the back cover encouraged me to buy this book and I must say I was very disappointed. As a descendent of Norwegian-Americans, I loved the references to lutefisk and Lutheran stoicism, but I found the writing choppy, the plot twists utterly ridiculous and the characters underdeveloped. This book seemed to be an attempt at a heartwarming portrayal of Midwest living, and the bizzare kidnapping subplot was completely out of place. I didn't feel like I really knew the characters or really wanted to get to know them.
