Reviews for Those Grand Occasions at the End of the Road
35 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This one's a little different as it's about the individual people of Homer and their adventures. Bodett gets awfully intimate and omniscient - if this is non-fiction, how does he actually know what each person thought all through those private moments? Well, it is kinder than GK's Lake Woebegone fiction, so maybe they were willing to share. Or maybe it is fiction. I dunno.
Short and sweet, and a little more wise than one would expect from someone tagged with the word 'folksy.' This can be considered the third book of a series, with As Far as you can go without a Passport first, and small Comforts second. Of course they do stand alone too.
I did read all three in one week and am taking advantage of copy'n'paste for the reviews. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Culled from his radio program of the same name, "The End of the Road" is a charming, amusing and often touching collection of stories of the odd and interesting characters who live in a small Alaskan town.
