The book is very well written. Some of the tragically funniest stories about the saddest characters you'll ever read about.
All of the interconnected stories are set in the fictitious town of Knockemstiff, Ohio. But as I was reading of this fictitious town I couldn't help but feel the town sounded familiar. It was a little too reminiscent of the town where I grew up. I couldn't help but feel some of the people whom I came in contact with growing up were the type of people on which the characters in this book had been based.
It made me sad knowing that there are other towns out there with the same kinds of people as those from my hometown. That being said the book is very well written and is well worth reading.
