Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. The epistolary format is a good fit for this folksy tale. The anecdotes seem a bit too folksy in parts and seem to be condescending to the small town people’s ignorance or gullibility (e.g., Columbia University in New York as the source of drugs; sex-starved and naïf Reverend Sycamore). The book ended rather abruptly, without any indication of it being Fred’s last letter to Amelia. There was no closing to the last letter or any summation. The book ended just as did the episodic chapters and sections. The author incorporated humor throughout the book. The chapters focusing on the small towns camaraderie or banding together were strongest (“Waving,” “Gus,” “Speed Demons”). Sex: None Violence: None Language: None sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Letters From Wheatfield - Second Edition. All the original stories plus twenty new zany reports on life in Wheatfield, Montana. What do you do for fun if you live in a small town, dauntingly far from the nearest city's amusements? Upon what resources do you draw to spice up your existence? "Letters From Wheatfield" provides the answer-and it isn't always pretty. In this new edition, cousin Amelia's book on Wheatfield has been published under the title, "Little Nut House on the Prairie," and the folks love it. They can't wait for it to be made into a movie, and ranger Ned wants Brad Pitt to play him. But the fame does not go to their heads. They keep right on being as colorful as ever, and providing plenty of new material for Amelia's sequel. Now you can enjoy the entire "Letters From Wheatfield" collection of stories in one volume.

Still, I liked the book, overall. The voice, the little stories, and the humor were very enjoyable. I definitely recommend this book for people who have lived in small towns, especially in the west, though I bet others will enjoy reading it too. ( )
