A wonderful book to save for a rainy afternoon. It gives great insight as to what it was like being a journalist when there wasn’t the advantage of modern technology. If you’ve ever lived in a small town, you’ll thoroughly enjoy the mentions of small town drama, desperate attempts at trying to find something to do on a Friday night and the descriptions of many interesting characters you’d find at a local cafe.
If you’re an aspiring journalist or writer-at-heart you’ll appreciate the main character’s longing for a good story to share and the lengths he would go to to make the small town paper more than just ads and local announcements.
