Summary: A visit home....
Comment: I bought this book in San Francisco on the way to visit the Mendocino Coast. I grew up in a small town ( We played Boonville in basketball)in the area and found this book to be a hoot and a fairly accurate portrayal of small town life in Northern California. From the "hip" alternative culture that can safely hide in a small town to the more established residents who have been there for generations, this brought a feeling of Deja vu to me. I am one of those who "escaped" and enjoyed the trip back, probably because it has been many years and was certainly temporary! Also enjoyed to references to small towns in the area, including my own, which I have never seen in print before. It is clear that the author has spent his time in Boonville. I enjoyed this book a lot.

Summary: And then....?
Comment: This book was like the movie "Remains of the Day". "Huh?" You say?
Well, I enjoyed the little adventures John faced upon his arrival in
Boonville and they kept me interested throughout the book. However,
I kept waiting for the real story to start and then it ended - just
as I was surprised when the ending credits scrolled up on "Remains..".
I suppose having driven through Boonville many a time,
let me get into the book more then your average yutz.
