Book Reviews of the Wisconsin Death Trip
Customer Review: History Lesson of A Small Town
Summary: 3 Stars
This book, in words and pictures, is an intriguing, but dark history lesson of a small town in Wisconsin called Black River Falls. The pictures are testaments to how harsh the conditions were, and there definitely more sombre moments than jubilant, funerals of children for instance, but it's not a morbid journey. Looking at some of the faces of the people, you get a feeling that they were determined to endure, and I found myself hoping that a lot of them made their dreams real, no matter how simple those dreams may have been. I will warn you though, the accounts out of the local newspapers are depressing, and I couldn't help but wonder if anything happy ever happened in this town!
