Customer Reviews
Lake Wobegon Days - Rated First class read. Humour, pathos all of life is here in small town America. Highly recommended Lie back and relax ... - Rated Listen to the CD - then read the book. Once you've got Keillor's voice in your head, you'll never read his books the same way again. Gentle humour about growing up in Lake Wobegon, the town the map-makers missed (yes, it's in Mist County). Carefully observed detail, related with love (and occasionally impatience). Yes, this is small-town America, and eventually Keillor escaped to the big city. These are the memories of his childhood. Excellent CD! - Rated This CD is superb - this was my introduction to Keillor when I heard this on Radio 4 and had to go out and buy the book. This is a witty and funny cd - if you are looking for belly laughs go elsewhere as this is subtle humour at its best. Hearing this led me to buy all of Keillors books - and I'm yet to be disappointed! Hang on! - Rated I've been surprised and sorry to see the number of negative reviews 'Lake Wobegon Days'... has everyone missed the point here? This is a really smashing, intimate book. It's not directly autobiographical, but there's elements of autobiography throughout. Lake Wobegon's not a real place, but it may as well be by the time you've finished the book. There is nothing beige or flat about this book. It's quick, it's witty, it's affectionate and discerning and it's a bloomin' bargain at the price. American literature doesn't come much better than this. I urge you to read it. Better still, listen to it on audiobook - Keillor's delivery is superb. You'll laugh quietly to yourself on public transport for days afterwards. Dull - Rated I really wanted to like this book. It had potential. It was sometimes amusing, sometimes gentle and tender, but sadly, more often than not, it was just plain boring. It wasn't that it wasn't written well and I thought the idea of capturing what it was like to live in a community like that, especially as it must be so different now, was a lovely one. But I couldn't get over the overwhelming dullness of it.
