Customer Reviews

Gentle, tangible thoughts

This book is easy to read and will make for a good laugh, a tear or two and some serious thinking. It's definitely a read-between-the-lines book.

Thought Provoking and Sweet

The Lay of the Land by Brent Olson is an excellent book, because everyone will find something to identify with in its pages. Really worth your while to read.

Wow

This is one of my new favorite books. I laughed out loud enough to make family members think that I was crazy and actually cried a few times. It is really worth your while to read, and it gives an incredibly vivid picture of life on a farm.

Fantastic Imagery

This is a very good read. It has some really fantastic imagery. A good book for people from all walks of life. Also, a good picture of what rural life is like.

A collection of light-hearted and thought-provoking essays.

Brent Olson is an author very well worth your time. He lives on a farm in western Minnesota and the everyday joys, trials and tribulations of life are what he writes about. Everyone will find something to relate to, especially anyone who is a "displaced" person with roots in the country. You will laugh and cry and say, "I know just how he feels." I highly recommend this book.
