About this audiobook
Wigfield is a small bucolic hideaway, situated in front of a massive dam which is about to be torn down by the state government to restore the salmon run. Wigfield's only hope lies in the self-righteous, self-involved "journalist" Russell Hokes, who arrives hoping to capture the quiet dignity of the disappearing American Small Town. However, Wigfield is nether quiet nor dignified. As the date of destruction draws nearer, Hokes casts about desperate to find something about Wigfield worth documenting. WIGFIELD is a razor-sharp satire by three major talents.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5First funny book I have listen to more than once in a long time. I don't know if reading it would have been as funny cause the voices of the characters are great. Would recommend the audio.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Love the authors. Didn't love this project.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Oh what a great laugh. I cannot explain the plot in a way that will do it justice. Eminent domain, strippers, and wrecking yards somehow woven together in a cheery tale of investigative reporting. These writers should be committed, Preferably together so they will write Wigfield 2, or somesuch.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I actually didn't read the book ... I listened to the audio and it was hilarious. I suppose I really should read the book, but listening to the authors camp it up was well worth the time it takes to get through the audio. The humour and sarcasm is fantastic throughout. If you liked Strangers with Candy, you'll love this book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If you enjoy the Colbert Report and The Daily Show you'll like this sarcastic story of a ridiculous town.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is insane. I'm a big fan of David's work, but know Amy and her crew well from TV. Reads like a hilarious, strange movie.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Funny, but in a one-note fashion. Amy just doesn't have the flexibility and range of her brother; a single good David Sedaris story has more types of humor in it than this entire book. She and Stephen really should stick to TV which they both do so well.
