Population: 485 : Meeting Your Neighbors One Siren at a Time by Michael Perry

4.0

Michael Perry is a good writer with a gift for metaphor and descriptions so vivid you can hear the roar of the fire and smell the freshly mown hay fields. BUT ... the book is somewhat disjointed and I had trouble getting into it. Still, his ability to describe small-town life and the interactions of characters is nothing short of charming and engaging. The last chapter is exceptional - worth the wait and earning the 4th star.
