Can Maine be this plain?
I am planing a trip to Maine and thought I would read-up on the state. Tim Sample is billed as a sort of Down East Dave Barry. The book is vaguely cute but certainly not humorous.

This review is from: Maine Curiosities: Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities, and Other Offbeat Stuff (Paperback)
I am planing a trip to Maine and thought I would read-up on the state. Tim Sample is billed as a sort of Down East Dave Barry. The book is vaguely cute but certainly not humorous. Unless this is what passes for humor in Maine (I hope not). The book presents curiosities that are only mildly curious and quirky characters that are not very quirky and wouldn't get a second glance in California or Florida. Its main subject matter seems to be large road-side advertising constructions. As someone who has driven through more than half the states in the Union, I find that the highlighted Maine road-side advertising constructions in this book are nothing out of the ordinary, and hardly rate the write-ups devoted to them here. Disappointing.
