...musical territory, Knox revels in cliched, annoying formulas slapped together to form a pastiche of generic major chord mayhem. YES!! does succeed in pushing limits--for instance, those of compact disc space capacity.

...book jacket would suggest that by chronicling Larry Weller's life from 1977 to 1997, Shields has captured the essence of Man during each of these decades as well. Apart from one reference to hair length in the 70s, several references to unemployment in the 80s and 90s, and an incongruous, forced discussion of men in the 90s at the dinner party, time scarcely seems to pass at all.

...people of Garden City, Kans., have always lived at the end of the world. In the 1870s and '80s, wagon trains plodded along the Santa Fe Trail for a month or more from Kansas City, on the state's eastern edge, to the scrappy little community near its western border. Even today the trip takes eight mind-numbing hours by car.
