Welcome to Scranton
Welcome to Scranton | Greg Halpin
1 post | 1 read
It's a wild ride through Scranton in this darkly funny and touching story about guys in their twenties trying to figure out life in their hometown. The boundaries of friendship are tested as one of them hits rock bottom. Welcome to Scranton paints a portrait of a small town that includes political corruption, a disgraced teacher, and the hilarious misadventures of young men. The story takes you deep beneath the cliche of small town life. It offers scenes that make you laugh out loud, situations that make you cringe, and, above all, Scranton itself looms large as the kind of ugly, lovely town that we all know too well. www.welcometoscranton.com

Mehso-so

This fun little novel was written by a native of the Wyoming Valley, where I grew up and lived until my mid-20's. He really did an amazing job of capturing the flavor and tempo of Scranton, and I can even see some hints of my nearby hometown, Wilkes-Barre, in a couple characters. The book made me more than a bit homesick, but it was worth it. The writer's voice is young yet, but you can sense great things ahead. An interesting, short read.
