Book Reviews of Pontoon: A Novel of Lake Wobegon (Lake Wobegon Novels)
Book Review: Just when I thought Keillor
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read Garrison Keillor for decades now, and I bought this book thinking it would be good - but not better than the others. I was pleasantly surprised. Mr. Keillor does not disappoint. Characters I knew from his previous works were brought back to life for me, like I was looking at a Lake Wobegon scrapbook; yet, one doesn't have to be familiar with his past works to get vast enjoyment out of this novel as a stand-alone work.
I read other novels and forget what good writing is really like, until I pick up a Keillor book again and am reminded. Humor, drama, poignancy - his writing has it all, each and every time. I'm particularly impressed with the insight he has regarding female characters in all stages of life.
Summary of Pontoon: A Novel of Lake Wobegon (Lake Wobegon Novels)
Garrison Keillor makes his long- awaited return to Lake Wobegon with this New York Times bestsellerThe first new Lake Wobegon novel in seven years is a cause for celebration. And Pontoon is nothing less than a spectacular return to form-replete with a bowling ball-urn, a hot-air balloon, giant duck decoys, a flying Elvis, and, most importantly, Wally's pontoon boat. As the wedding of the decade approaches (accompanied by wheels of imported cheese and giant shrimp shish kebabs), the good-loving people of Lake Wobegon do what they do best: drive each other slightly crazy.
