Wally Amidon

This amusing book of stories was so much fun to read. I like the title too, and how Wally weaves it into his stories. The humorous stories remind of Garrison Keillor's books which I thoroughly enjoy. My favorite one is the first one in the book, for I can relate to it, and how our children who considered themselves wiser than we act at times. Check it out, I highly recommend it.

This collection of humorous episodes definitely felt like "musings". Random snippets of life were described in an entertaining way in each episode, although some of the pranks seemed too cruel for my taste.

I like to keep a book in my car to read while waiting for appointments, dining alone. Short stories are perfect for this purpose, and I have really enjoyed what I have read so far. Each story is a view into the life of the author - humor, inspiration, a little grumbling about this and that. I think I would like to have Wally Amidon for a friend.

Although the stories shared in this books were amusing at times, I felt it fell short on keeping me engaged. I found it a little too easy to put the book to the side and move on to another. I wanted to like it, but just didn't seem to be my cup of tea.
