I've read several others of her books, and usually finish them rather fast. They flow along with amazingly strange characters that you tend to believe as normal. This book is no exception to that, but was a bit longer. Each chapter (if you would term them that) is about 2-4 pages long. And has a slightly different focus on a situation, usually looking at another of the characters involved in what's happening.
And then there are divisions based on the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. A lot changes in a small town, or even the governorship of Missouri, in those decades.
I hope you get a chance to sit back and read a couple of chapters a day, like I did. It took a month, and was full of chuckles and an occassional laugh out loud.
