It’s the go-go 1980s when journalist Wally Pearson gets mugged in Times Square. It’s a jolt that prompts him to throw away his career and open a cafe in his small hometown. Little does he know that in doing so he’s about to get entrapped in the collision of fame, fortune, ambition and love in the northwoods of Wisconsin—all tempered with more than a little delusion.

His Loon Town Cafe is the common meeting ground for many different forces. Chicago millionaire Henry Van Elkind plots from his lavish summer camp a transformation of the region. The Native American tribe, whose reservation edges the town, is about to flex its muscle on fishing and gambling rights. Wally’s young wait staff is more interested in romance, and his oddball trio of regulars spend much of their time arguing over visiting space aliens, mutant fish and the availability of wild strawberry jam.

"Tales from the Loon Town Cafe" captures the unique character and rhythms of small Midwestern towns. But it also recognizes the undercurrent of despair and sometime downright loopiness that emerges when most everyone thinks they know most everything that’s going on.

But of course they don’t really know all, and that’s why "Tales from the Loon Town Cafe" is ultimately a mystery of life

5,0 su 5 stelle A charming engaging read
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 15 agosto 2016

Must admit I got the book because it was about my home state of Wisconsin which I left at the age of 25 forty years ago. It's a story about small town life, history, quirky characters. A well written book that covers a full range of emotions . I will be reading the rest of his books as I really enjoyed this book.

Don't be fooled by the goofy northwoods feel - there is a lot going on here. A likable main character on a quest to heal is surrounded by lots of townies who are all distinct and have their own "tales". There is fun but also drama and a few surprises; it is quite real and touching. Settings and descriptions are very enjoyable. Good, interesting writing style includes switching between scenes, so keep up.

There were typos here, missing and extra words and some punctuation errors.

I really wanted to like this book. Couple of typos/grammar errors here and there; that I can live with. I did not understand the beginning. I have no idea why the book was a flashback but we never actually go back to the present. I wanted to know if the Stephen at the beginning is the same as the guy from Thread. And I really, really wanted to know why the restaurant closed and he moved away again. I felt like these were huge plot points that just don't exist. Which is sad, because the book was interesting, I liked the characters, and the writing was above average. I finished it a week ago and this stuff is still bugging me.

This is not really a "Mystery", and not really an "Urban Fantasy" (where the "Urban" just means "modern normal people as main characters", but it reads like the best of both genres, and doesn't fit into any classification box. The characters are quirky but real, like people everybody knows, and the small town is real, too. It shares some of the great qualities of myth. I love it.

4,0 su 5 stelle Great Story, but needs an Editor
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 4 ottobre 2013

The story was very well written for the most part. I hesitated leaving an open review on this book because I did not want to sound like Bromley or van Elkind, but with a lack of method to contact the author discretely, this is the way to do it, I suppose. It is obvious that Mr. Frohmann has a deep understanding and relationship with language. I also admired the way he shared homosexuality in a way that didn't seem too stereotypical (victory). It was subtle and tastefully written.

There are two major issues I had with this book, however.

First, it was littered to the point of annoyance with typos: misplaced or wrong punctuation, noun-verb disagreements, missing words. I could fill in the blanks, but it got tiresome to have to do so. It look unprofessional, which is a shame because I thought he wrote far better than some of the bestselling authors today.

Second, Gilbert's narrative about the watch was all wrong. It was beautiful, a beautiful story he told, but it was just off because... who talks like that? And a travelling salesman at that? It was unrealistic for dialogue, but had he framed it better it would have made sense to the reader. Too many details were injected into that side-story as well.

I enjoyed the book and I envied the talent of Mr. Frohmann, but the two issues I mentioned keep me from giving it five stars. I will still recommend it to my friends. I just hope that when he gets an editor, that editor doesn't go stomping through this story and ripping things to shreds. It just needs the typos addressed. If he doesn't want to hire an editor, divide the book into chapters and hand it out to good friends to edit for him, or us readers who were astute enough to notice them.
