Book Report: Population:485

[headoutdaplane]

by Michael Perry.

Written by a guy that is a volunteer FF/EMT in a small WI town. He gets a little fancy with the words and a little like Tom Bodet with the small town stories but he covers a lot of what it is like to volunteer in a small town.

Some really funny tales and some definitely sad times but a good read for winter. His remarks on the diversity of folks who volunteer are right on the head, as are his explanation of why he volunteers. I could line a lot of his characters up with folks in my dept.

I just finished reading this book not too long ago and I couldn't agree with your comments more!

Ok.........

On the inside First page or two, there is a IBN Number. Sort of a Social Security number for books. Also on the same page should be the name of the publishing house. If someone could post that info here, it would be a great help to anyone who wants to find it. Thanks.

Bought it last night when I got home from work and started reading it. Couldn't put it down, I probably would have read the whole thing if I didn't have training at 7. Can't wait to finish it up tonight.
