Postal by Peter McNeil is not your normal novel; it captures your attention from the start. This is a book that gives you an insight of the operation at our local post offices. The book is filled with love, work drama, family drama, romance, laughter and surprises. I felt connected to each connected to the characters-some are just plain crazy. Thumbs up to Peter McNeil on writing this awesome book, I enjoyed reading Postal and is a must read.

A fictional account of the challenges and camaraderie of working for the postal service. As a career letter carrier I found it spot on. The characters are engaging and it was all around a fun read.
