So, it was a special read for me. Anyone who grew up as a child of a general practice lawyer will love this book. Having been such a creature (general practice lawyer) now for 34 years it evoked nostalgia, chuckles, regrets, warm memories and a soul searching review of my life. The writing is concise, with a pleasant and genteel tone. The small town life and stories rang true for me though two generations removed.
The Disneyland dream existence of such life is based on the actual life experiences of many Americans though quite distant now. Perhaps technology today could be a catalyst to reviving the better parts of those times and avoidance of the downsides. I recommend it to anyone as fuel for such ideas and a glimpse at what once was.
The realism of the human condition revealed in the book is a realism lived by a small time general practice lawyer, even today. Some of the stories are likely exaggerated or compilations for effect, but worthy of consideration as the underbelly of how human we all are. ( )
