Welcome To Utopia : Notes From A Small Town
by Karen Valby

I really liked the introduction. You get an idea of what a small town is like that has no mayor, no stoplights, seven churches, no fast food, no movie theaters, etc.
Utopia is in Texas and the original name was Montana. The guy who renamed it was the first postmaster. Quirky information that I find fascinating, but it came to a screeching halt in the first chapter. The author starts mentioning some of the characters she meets and their deadening conversation. Ho, hum.
Too bad. It looked like the book was going to be fun and entertaining. No such luck.
