Summary: Well worth reading - what a story teller ....
Review: I picked this up in a bookstore because I recognized Tom's name (probably like most of America) and had no idea what a great story teller he could be. The book takes different stories and weaves them together in a most clever fashion. Makes me wonder if it wasn't composed as separate books - then combined - Ha! Caught Ya! That's the secret! I certainly didn't guess what was coming next and that made the ride even more enjoyable. The characters had depth - no broding overwrought fatalists - and they were living very real lives. The humor that is 'snuck in' is great and adds to the whole experience. Good stuff here.

Summary: It's a Delight
Review: If you have ever heard Tom's Radio shows, you will certainly be in touch with this book. He brings back familair stories and charaters that seem to make the "end of the road" like any small town we might have ever seen. Even if you havce never heard nor read Tom, one could be charmed by his clever wit and amazing story telling skills.
