The joke gets old, but Wigfield is ok.

Wigfield: The Can-Do Town That Just May Not von Amy Sedaris

I was really shocked to see the amount of hate this book gets! I thought it would be funny, occasionally thoughtful, and definitely a good time. And it was so much more than that! The characters in the town are so well drawn. There are moments where the satire is powerful, and feels important, but it is done with nuance and without pushing perspectives on the reader (or, maybe I just agree with them more often than I disagree, one of the two).

I read the book and then listened to the audiobook, which is read by the authors, and is even better. It is unclear to me what people would want in this book besides exactly what it is. It's no Moby Dick. But is Moby Dick even Moby Dick?… (mehr)

Wigfield: The Can-Do Town That Just May Not von Amy Sedaris

We bought this audiobook on the chance that it would keep us entertained during some long drives. I remember chuckling at a few jokes near the beginning, but we soon became bogged down in the one-trick-pony nature of this humor. If you like Colbert-style humor simply because it is Colbert-style humor, you might enjoy this, but for us, this was just too repetitive. By the time we'd met the tenth samey redneck character, we'd gotten the point. Enough already.
