The View From The Blanket: Vacation Memories From A Place Called Weekapaug

Rating:
Summary: "Completely Captivating"
Review: "Vacation with Tom Zalaski: The WFRV-TV, Channel 5 (Green Bay) anchor may not invite you to "Weekapaug" to share his cottage, but he does give people a fun glimpse into his vacations in "The View From the Blanket: Vacation Memories From a Place Called Weekapaug" (AuthorHouse). It's written in folksy, breezy style that is fun and easy to read. It's like sitting across from him at a dinner table and letting him regale you with his stories. So pull up a chair and listen to him vent about renters, personal watercraft, golf and horseflies. Completely captivating."

Summary: a book about the other side of the breachway
Review: For those who know Weekapaug (The beaches, the Inn, the yacht club , the tennis club), this is not about that. This is Atlantic Avenue , and the beach on the other side of the breachway from Fenway. This is the view from the hoi polloi.

Summary: This book is for anyone who wants to re-live a special place
Review: The last thing I wanted to do was read a book about someone else's vacation. But to my surprise it wasn't anything like that. The author did a great job of sucking me into the book. I was re-living memories from my childhood and adulthood of special places and times. I laughed and I cried...I swear the author followed my family on vacation. His writing style was both funny and at times somber. The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because the book ended and I wanted to keep on reading. For me, it was very theraputic to read this book, especially in today's hectic life style. I was able to sink into a book that a reader could relate to on a personal level and take a trip down memory lane.
