I'm ready to go on a road trip now.

Bill Geist is a small town Central Illinois boy so I am biased in my glowing opinion of him. I enjoyed this book. It wasn't amazing, but had some great stories about the unique and interesting aspect of small town life/festivities. Geist has a fabulous way of writing about small town America without talking down or putting it down. There is no judgment here. Fun read, but it wasn't so great that I just couldn't put it down.

One of the first books I read on my Kindle was this book. I did not see the cover at the time, but, now that I see it, I'd have to say that this book falls into the category of Cover-More-Clever-Than-the-Book.
