About this product

Product Information

Garrison Keillor makes his long- awaited return to Lake Wobegon with this "New York Times" bestseller The first new Lake Wobegon novel in seven years is a cause for celebration. And "Pontoon" is nothing less than a spectacular return to form'replete with a bowling ball-urn, a hot-air balloon, giant duck decoys, a flying Elvis, and, most importantly, Wally's pontoon boat. As the wedding of the decade approaches (accompanied by wheels of imported cheese and giant shrimp shish kebabs), the good-loving people of Lake Wobegon do what they do best: drive each other slightly crazy.

Diecast car arrived ahead of schedule. It was wrapped and packaged good with neatness. Seller provided additional photos which led to me making the purchase. There is small part missing from the rear. From the photos the part was attached. Overall. good customer service. Thank you.

The seller likes to hide behind their disclaimer that if they make a listing mistake, the pictures are "part of the description". I received an item that was poorly packed, not the item that was listed, and somehow they had no fault - in fact, they were not willing to admit to any mistake. So many hoops, no time. I solved the issue on my own with the help of another reputable ebay member.

As I stated in the many communications with you, we apologized for the mistake and the return was accepted for a full refund. Since the item was shipped through Ebay international, they handle the return COMPLETELY!! I called them at your request to try to change the return shipping service for your convenience and they could not make the change. There would have been no hoops if you followed their instructions.

  • The First Chapter Grabbed Me

    I read the first chapter online at the Prairie Home Companion's website and immediately bid for the book on ebay. Now that I've read it, I'm not disappointed, but I am a little....well, surprised, I guess. I have read and re-read Keillor's earlier works..."Lake Wobegon Days" and "Leaving Home" and laughed throughout both volumes, sometimes to tears. I guess I was a bit taken aback that so much sex has sneaked into his later works. Now, don't get me wrong...I'm no prude, and sex is a dandy thing, but Keillor's earlier books didn't have nearly as much fornication between the covers (pardon the pun) and I thought they were actually better books. I guess the bottom line is, I KNOW he can write a warm, funny and totally readable book without all the puffing and grunting, so why put so much ...

  • A Fun Read!

    I live in a small town and this book reminds me so much of our own town and the people who live here. I loved the characters - they are real to life with the same everyday problems we all have. Evelyn is a wonderful character! You won't understand this until you read the book, but at her 'memorial service' I laughed so much I was crying! I don't want to give anything away so I won't explain it here. Just be sure to get this book to find out about it.

  • Pontoon

    I like Garrison Keillor's brand of humor. Have several of his books and have seen him perform on stage to the delight of a sell out audience. If you like the dry humor and storytelling format which Garrison uses, you will like his books and CD's.

  • More Lake Wobegon hilarity.

    Being from a small town myself, Garrison Keillor takes me back to relive so much of what I remember.

  • Pontoon

    I bought this book as a Christmas gift because it was requested. I know nothing about the story and cannot, therefore, review the book.
