It Takes You Over by Nick Healy 188 pages



This is a collection of short stores set in Minnesota.  Although most of the characters and stories could have been from any Midwestern state, I do not think it likely that they could have been from either of the coasts.  Having lived in Minnesota at two different times in my life, I enjoyed the place names and references to parts of the state with which I am familiar.


Some of these stories were better than others, naturally, but I will say that almost none left you feeling uplifted or that the characters learned much from their muddled lives and mistakes.
