Official synopsis Publisher
Although the title suggests otherwise this book has absolutely nothing to do with either Warsaw, Poland or the month of August. Instead it’s a satirical look at a small Midwestern town in the late 60’s and early 70’s. This book depicts bizarre behavior to the extent that I didn’t feel it was necessary to state that the story was based on fictional characters. I’m assuming anyone who thought this book was about them is currently either in therapy or taking copious amounts of recreational drugs. If you don’t normally read fiction consider reading it to use as an operator’s manual on how not to screw up your life. Reviews from the books characters: Amos: “I intend to sue for defamation of character.” Bernadette: “I think Ron is just misunderstood. I think basically he’s a good person. However, I feel it’s important to note that I’ve known him for less than a year.” Grandpa: “This kid will end up killing me.” Buttons the cat: “I will have my revenge.”
