  "A great view of small town life from the inside out" by djerickson (see profile) 05/20/07

This book is a great read my only complaint was the amount of characters and trying to keep them all straight. I liked how the author really brought us into the lives of the different characters and exposed the lengths all of us will go to to save face.

 
  "Great read about small-town life." by jsmart1 (see profile) 05/22/07

I really enjoyed this book full of quirky characters. Initially I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to remember all of the characters, but it didn't seem to be a problem. The stories of these townspeople were so engrossing and entertaining, that it was easy to follow along. Humor as well as tragedy...it offers it all.
