"The Road to Wellville" by T. Coraghessan Boyle

Great satire about the Kellogg Battle Creek Sanitarium. One of the most enjoyable books I've read in awhile, with the added advantage of being educational. It was extremely well written, actually made me laugh out loud, and had a nice love story to boot. I love the way this author uses language, and agree with comparisons to Charles Dickens. I'm going to check out his other works.

I also liked the fact that the book included con artists, and so reminded me of the talents of Patrick Jane from The Mentalist tv show. Unfortunately, the movie that was based on this book was apparently a dog.
