In the little town of Lake Wobegon, a wedding is planned down to the
last detail, from the cheese and pâté to the flying Elvis to the pontoon
boat. Meanwhile, a good Lutheran lady prepares to die, her daughter
meets a lover at the Romeo Motel, and a delegation of renegade Lutheran
pastors from Denmark comes to town. It is Lake Wobegon as you've
imagined it—good, loving people who drive each other slightly crazy.
My Take: I know of Garrison Keillor but am not a PBS follower so I didn't know any details about the Lake Wobegon books. I do enjoy a good series drama though and the pitch sounded interesting. However, the book was not. I made it almost half way through and quit. I couldn't even tell you what happened in the part that I read because it didn't hold my interest at all. I wouldn't recommend it myself and I'll never try any Garrison Keillor again. Personally, I find his voice irritating on the radio, but I know he is widely acclaimed and admired by many. It's just not for me.
