Pontoon by Garrison Keillor...I didn't like this one as much as I thought I would. While the reader will enjoy the familiar emotional roller coaster between laughing, sighing and identifying with the small town characters of Lake Wobegon, Keillor uses a lot of sexual innuendo that I have never really heard him use before. I was disappointed in this one.
If Keillor could have brought us the same stories without the sex jokes it would have been a better read. As it was, it was distracting and cheapened by the rawness of several moments in the book, which detracted from its enjoyable messages about humanity.
