What a pleasant surprise! I truly did not believe I would enjoy this book but I did. Although not a "page turner" it seemed to keep gently tugging me back to its story. I'm not from a small town myself but I could certainly recognize the personality many tiny towns have (it certainly compares to the stories of my parents' home town). The town of Mosely seems to be it's own separate character.
The characters were all unique and oddly enough, I seemed to admire (aside from the main character, Trout) the most normal/unexciting one of them all--Uncle Cicero. Maybe the admiration stemmed from the stability he represented in the topsy turvey world Trout found himself in. I also got a kick out of Uncle Phinizy, the world definitely needs intellectuals to figure things out!--loved the scene with him on the motorcyle in the hospital gown. The cop was truly believable in that one!
As for Trout, it was so nice to read a teenage "agnst" story without all the things you might associate with it (drugs, violence, general misbehavior, yelling, screaming, etc). He was a very amiable and symapthetic character. My only problem with the story was the ending seemed a little abrupt, I expected a little more. However, I will definitely pick up a book from this author again!
