Some of Keillor's funniest News From Lake Wobegon moments, perfect for anyone new to the writer's work and a welcome addition to every die-hard fan's Prairie Home Companion collection.
Rare It held my 19 year old daughters attention and that was nice to be able to share something our whole family could enjoy. This is not only funny, and I mean at times very funny. It was relaxing and interesting. The stories are something we all could relate to.
This CD is great for a long drive, or long flight, it is entertaining and better than a book on tape. It can be a little boring at times.
The monologues are funny to listen to, and after they have listened to them a time or two, just hearing Garrison Keillor's soothing voice has a calming effect. I love to give these collections of monologues to folks who are experiencing a long recovery from surgery or undergoing medical treatment. The stories from Lake Wobegon are the best sleeping potions available--and there are no side effects other than falling asleep with a smile on your face.
He is usually a great story teller. Keillor can do much better. This will still not deter me from buying and listening to other news from Lake Wobegon. Garrison Keillor has a wonderful way with words, but this CD was disappointing. The stories dragged on too long and sometimes with no purpose in the end or sentiment to remember. He seemed to run out of steam on this 4hour tape.
