Did not finish. Just boring, didn't seem to have a point, some mild language that pushed me over the edge, and did I mention it was boring?

To quote another reviewer: "I'd seen it compared to Jan Karon's Mitford series and I loved those books. This was like a flat, pale attempt at imitation, and one that tried too hard. "


^^^^ Yup. That is pretty much it.

Kudos to the author for keeping it clean. I hate to say this, but this was not my favorite novel. Yes, it had some humor in some places, but it's not a series that I *have* to read. I felt that the author took forever in building up the town and its people. The dialogue really doesn't do much for me. The plot felt slow in some places. While the fictional town sounds pleasant, I really don't feel a magnetic attraction to the series.

This is the best Lumby book yet. It made me cry in places and laugh in other places. I love this quirky little town. Hank, the pink flamingo, continues to bring a smile to my face with his costumes and the places he shows up.

This is the second book in the Lumby series. If you like *town* series, then you will fall in love with quirky Lumby. There's humor, love and caring for one's neighbor and even a bad apple or two. This town is a town where I would like to call home, quirkiness and all.
