average customer review: 
(34)
Clint Bunsen of Keillor's Lake Wobegon is planning his sixth Fourth of July celebration, but by the time it rolls around he's been booted from the planning committee; his wife, Irene, is chillier than ever; and his 60-something hormones have him lusting after the much-younger Angelica Pflame, whose commando performance as the Statue of Liberty in last year's parade is still a hot topic in the sleepy burg.

Irene rocks (p.261-3): "If you want him, you can take him, but I'm going to have to shoot him first. You don't get to take him whole and fresh. I'm going to shoot him in the foot, or maybe in the butt. He can't walk out of here without a mark on him. You just tell me where to shoot him. ... It's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Primitive justice. Very simple. You don't get away for free. There's an exit price. I know men. They have powerful imaginations. He could get in a car with you and two hours later he imagines he never was married, he has no children, no obligations-men are hitchhikers. Well, this one is going to walk out of here with a reminder. I'm going to put a mark on him. ... Butt, foot, or ear?" Posted: November 21, 2008 at 7:39 pm by Sylvhania
