A review by jgregg42
Downtown Owl by Chuck Klosterman

3.0

"Drugs may lead to nowhere, but at least it's the scenic route."

That is the quote by Steven Wright that I kept thinking of during this entire book. I loved Klosterman's voice and how the description of the characters flowed. I loved the the dialog between the characters. But we went nowhere during the entire story.

I grew up in a small town in Iowa and can relate to a lot of what Klosterman writes about. The characters all made sense to me even if I didn't know why I was reading about them.

This would be a good book for anyone that grew up in a small town or who wants a view of what people are like in a small fictional town in North Dakota. All blended with a healthy mix of pop culture references.
