Summary: A Very Fun Read
Review: This book was so much fun, an interesting story about a man trying to prove his love in the most unusual way. If only men did stuff like this for us in real life, right ladies? If you want a classic dignified read, don't get this book, but if you strictly want entertainment, this is the book for you.

Summary: Has there ever been a more banal and cliched book?
Review: This is such a condesending book about "Middle America." The characters seem like the creation of a Harvard undergrad who thinks that mid west rubes are just so darn cute and earthy. Yuck.

Summary: america at it's best
Review: What a sweet breath of fresh air. This is a perfect airplane book (no pun intended) or a great beach book. Yes. the man does really eat a plane to prove his love and the way this becomes such a casual fact of the story is very funning and charming.
This book is about small town America, people with good hearts, the power of love and a man who finally finds his real desire in life. It will show you joy in the smallest and most unexpected places.
Again, the writer has given the main character such a matter of fact voice when describing all the world records he has witnessed being broken that you can't help but get as caught up in it as he is.
I loved this sweet book and will pass it on to friends.

Summary: It would take a lot of catsup...
Review: Yes, dear readers, there really is a Superior, Nebraska. I looked it up. In the unique vision of the author of this fable, Superior farmer Wally Chub comes up with a bizarre way to remove the 747 that has crash-landed on his property. To catch the attention of Willa Wyatt, the newspaperwoman he's had a crush on all his life, he decides, piece by piece, and part by part, to eat it. What better way to prove his love and devotion? Enter J.J. Smith, Keeper of the Records for the Book of Records. Hearing of Wally's unusual diet regimen, J.J. comes to town hoping to catch him in the act of breaking the world record for such a feat. What he finds in Superior, Nebraska is quite apart from his plans. I really didn't want to like this book -- the ending becomes predictable fairly quickly -- but the fun is in getting to that end. There's a whole cast of small-town eccentrics, busy-bodies, and people you wish you could sit down to coffee with. Adding flavor to the story are the crazy world records J.J. has witnessed as part of his career. As for me, I'm feeling a little bit sad that nobody has ever loved me desperately enough to chow down on a 747. Not even so much as a single-engine two-seater.
