WLT: A Radio Romance (Abridged) Audiobook

" This was my second reading. Keillor is a great storyteller and he sets this story in the early days of radio. Must admit that the second reading was not as humorous as the first. "

" Whenever I have read parts of the Bible, I always imagine God to talk in this author's voice. Also, there should be a law passed that Garrison Keillor is the ONLY man allowed to talk on the PA system at planetariums. "

" A bit darker than much of Keillor's other works, but what I love about him is that there's sort of a dark current underneath the folksy nostagia, and I'd be interested in reading something even darker from Mr. K, 'cuz I know he has it in him! "

" I did not finish every page of this book - only about half. I didn't hate, but I didn't love it. It was mostly just stories like his radio show but they seemed a little disjointed to me so I moved on with my life. They did contain his trademark wit and penchant for the absurd though. "

" i thought this was an interesting story about radio, with an interesting character study of the main character, but the other characters were a little one-dimensional and i didn't like the way sex, sexuality, or women were dealt with. "

" His dry humor appeals to me. "

" My favorite Garrison Kiellor book. Frank White is the hero of shy Scandanavian Americans. "

" I don't even remember WHEN I read this book, but I've never forgotten it. It was a fun romp. "

" This is maybe the third book i've ever given up on- the other two being "moby dick" and "billy budd." While i never would have thought i'd put keillor and melville in the same category, i do. maybe they're both up in heaven, hanging out, spending eternity getting to the point....... "

" Seamier than it needed to be. While ostensibly a paean to old-time radio, Keillor uses the setting as a vehicle to tell smutty stories and schoolboy jokes, with mockery of religious faith thrown in for good measure. This is certainly no "Lake Wobegon Days." "

" One of those books I could read again and again and again. No one's tone comes anywhere near matching Keillor's, and even in a book that's a little racier, a little less comfortable in theme and character than his Wobegon books, the voice is that of a master storyteller. "

" What a wonderful read. Some parts seem a bit rambly and disjointed, but then again, that's Keillor's style. The characters are believable, multi-dimensional and sympathetic, the jokes are hysterical, and the story is broad in scope. I enjoyed every last page and will definitely read again. "

" Very sweet, and funny, humorous tale... "

" Well, it's not Lake Wobegon, but 'twill do, 'twill suffice. It is a very good read, actually, with Keillor's usual whimsical characters and an entertaining account of the rise and fall of radio. "

" He's right up there with Kevin Nealon, Rush, vanilla ice cream, cashews... millions enjoy them, I do not. "

" I'm just not sure that the novel is Keillor's best form. This has his trademark quirky characters and settings, but after a couple of hundred pages, I got weary of all the quirkiness. "

" I read this on a trip to the Caribbean with my wife (girlfriend at the time). The big downside to the book was that it began to annoy her that I was laughing out loud whenever I was reading. "

" This may have been a good book, but I couldn't get past the pubescent male humor of the first 2 chapters, so I quit reading it. I really loved Lake Woebegon Days, so was especially disaapointed with this book. "

" I can't believe how filthy and hilarious this book is! "

" adorable - one of the best Keillor books I've read "

" Funny, warm, and absolutely wonderful. I loved this book from beginning to end and would highly recommend it. "

" Mr. Keillor has a potty mouth! Who knew... <br/> <br/>A less-than-sacred ode to the lost art of radio, in all its glory and depravity. The best parts were when I could distinctly hear Keillor's voice reading to me as I read in his best Prarie Home Companion voice. "

" His dry humor appeals to me. "
