Review
A droll literary spoof wrapped in a sweet love story . . . as wise as it is silly. -- USA Today

Review
A very funny riff, an almost surreal spooling out of American idiom in the great tradition of James Thurber and S. J. Perelman. (The Boston Sunday Globe)

4.0 out of 5 stars Very fun to read, October 26, 2004

By	Glenn A. Burns "bgkarma" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Garrison Keillor is such a talented storyteller, and in a way, I sometimes think of him as the modern day Salinger. I breezed right through this book! He tells the story of a struggling writer who strikes success with his first novel and moves to New York, leaving his wife behind to pursue his dreams. However, once he gets there, he is hit hard with writer's block, cannot write, and from there on his life begins its downward spiral. Will he redeem himself? I especially recommend this book to writers or aspiring writers of fiction, and also to anyone who enjoys an "over the top" story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romantic, even for a guy, August 30, 2005

By	MicahA (Shoreline, WA United States) - See all my reviews

I'll be honest, I'm not necessarily into books that describe old people in a somewhat sad state of love, but this book does a fantastic job. In a sense, there are two stories going on. One an unrealistic but hilarious satire of both New York and of professional writers, where John Updike and others play a significant role in the plot. The other is an underlying theme of love between two mismatched individuals, one who desires greatness and the other who desires equality for those without greatness. The Main character, unable to write more books, takes up a job as an advice columnist named "Mr. Blue" and writes some amazingly clever and witty responses to some of the individuals who write to him. All the while he grows both further apart and closer to his wife, who remains in Minnesota I promise you that this book is not what you'd expect. It was very enjoyable, extremely witty and imaginative and worth the time.
