I live in Wisconsin and I still learned a lot by reading this book. I couldn't resist it after I saw the title - really, who could?

Told with a sense of humor, this book packs a lot into a small size. The book is arranged by region, so you can check out some unusual attractions if you're planning a trip "up nort" as we say here. Some are to be expected, but most are things that would make you want to stop for a selfie so everyone believes what you are seeing.

Half of this book was me saying to myself, “yeah, that tracks.” And the other half tells me I need to travel my state more.

Interesting information. However, the author's desperate attempts at humor were quite irritating at times.

Silly but fun to read about all these strange places and events in Wisconsin!
