Customer Reviews

Good, light reading

I liked this book because it gives a good look into the mindset of the people of Kansas but at times, I did wonder why the people interviewed seemed so darn happy and optimistic for the most part. Interviews took place some years ago so maybe it was a characteristic of that era. I'm going to read Tony Parker's "Lighthouse" next.
