"The publicity may not be exactly what Pure Michigan promoters had in mind, but it's a lot more fun to read." -- Detroit Free Press, "Pohlen seeks all that is weirdly wacky and wonderful in the Mitten State, often serving up the descriptions of his finds with a seriously sizeable side of snark." --Midwest Guest, "The publicity may not be exactly what Pure Michigan promoters had in mind, but it's a lot more fun to read." - Detroit Free Press, "In 450 funny blurbs, the author covers sights people might go out of their way for, as well as attractions one might check out while just passing through, providing location, cost, and contact information for each. Amusing, brisk, surprising, and slightly educational, this is a great resource for the discerning connoisseur of cheesy and eccentric tourist attractions of the Upper Midwest." - Library Journal, "Taking a "normal" road trip with the kids sounds like a drag after flipping through Oddball Michigan: A Guide to 450 Really Strange Places ." --MetroParents.com, "Pohlen found some real gems. I can envision tour planners and operators using Oddball Michigan as they plan an itinerary. Tour guides could weave facts from the book into their narration." -- Group Tour Magazine, "Such grassroots creativity deserves to be celebrated, even by an author (Jerome Pohlen) who's from Chicago, a city which, let's be honest, cannot hold a candle to metro Detroit's oddball cred." -- Detroit Free Press, "In 450 funny blurbs, the author covers sights people might go out of their way for, as well as attractions one might check out while just passing through, providing location, cost, and contact information for each.
