Enjoyable 6 CD story. Although I am use to the Praire Home Companion stories (Family oriented), this story of a teenage boy's summer in Lake Wobegon was excellent for a long car ride.

Classic Garrison, in my humble oppinion he is the greatest story teller of all time.

In my humble opinion this book is not up to Keillor's usual fare. A little disappointed, but it is an easy read and probably worth the time.
