I'm not entirely sure what the point of this book is.
- Cash Peters is fine...as a narrator. Cash Peters is fine...as a writer. Cash Peters isn't all that engaging as a story teller though. Every chapter SEEMS like it is going to be more interesting than it is. He went to Illinois...and reported on a Housewares tradeshow (yeah...it's as intriguing as it sounds) and reported on the nation's only funeral home and minigolf parlor (unfortunately, not nearly as intriguing as it sounds or could have been). Everything that he writes and reports on has a feel of him trying REALLY hard to be "cute". Want to go for something similar, but considerably better? Downpour has Bill Bryson (who is ALWAYS great) and J. Maarten Troost (less known but equally fantastic).
