Book Reviews of The End of the Road
Book Review: A Really Good Laugh
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've ever heard Tom's radio program of the same name, "End of the Road" will be a real treat. I could almost hear his voice coming from the pages. The characters are as quirky as those from "Northern Exposure," yet as real as your brother-in-law. I can see the stories happening, and feel the emotions of the characters. They have foibles and faults, they are generous and stingy, smart and not so smart. The situations in which they find themselves could happen right here at home. Tom's way of storytelling has me smiling and even laughing out loud. There are serious and poignant moments, but mostly these are very funny tales of everyday life in a small town. There is every kind of person you can think of in all kinds of escapades and they reappear throughout the book, just as townsfolk will do.
I often try to recount the stories because I enjoyed them so much, but I cannot do them justice. They are better read aloud using Tom's own words. I've lent my copy of "End of the Road" to so many friends and family members that I've lost track of it. I'm currently searching for a copy to give as a gift. Get one for yourself and one to lend or give away. You'll all enjoy it, over and over again.
