Customer Reviews

A lot of fun

I loved this book. Sam's stories of moving to the country are hilarious and remind me of growing up in rural Whatcom County. I too am a fan of big breakfasts and intend to check out his recommendations next time I am in Walla Walla.

New to Walla Walla

I'm almost finished with the book, which was recommended by the person helping my friends and me taste wines at Walla Walla Vintners. It is perfect timing, as I have recently moved to Walla myself (read the book and you'll see why there is only one "Walla"). I'm sending copies to my friends and family so they can get a flavor of my new home town. It is a delight to read, particularly when the author has some of the same views I have about local eateries. Plus, I've learned about some new places and lots about the history and geology of the area - all written in an interesting, witty way.

Walla Walla: Understated, with a hint of fruit. Good legs.

This book landed on my doorstep with no note or explanation, as many of the best presents do. Having read it, my family is now planning their first trip to Walla Walla filled with excitement and anticipation. The liveliness and self-effacing humor that Sam McLeod gives to the town is reminicient of that small town in Montana with the same name. Coincidence? Maybe. We look foreward to experiencing the places described in the book, drinking good wine from the local vineyards, and reminicing with friends.

Awesome read!

This book is Great! Very funny, I'm giving it to all of my relatives for Christmas. They'll love it.

Read it. Loved it.

Just wanted to say that I read it and loved it. I read the best parts to my wife and we both rolled with laughter. Tried and proven to be enjoyable.
