A great ending that meandered to get there

I liked this book it was pretty okay. The ending was really great but boy did it take time to get there. Lots of little tiny stories throughout kind of expected for Garrison Keillor but he really isn't as great at telling stories as he was in the eighties.

I finished it in just one day so that's mostly because it was an audiobook and I had a long trip that day. If this was dead tree version i'm not sure if I ever would have made it to the end.

Rich guy from the edge of the Prairie become such through no thanks to his own hard work he hates Christmas his wife loves Christmas he wants to go to Hawaii his uncle is dying he gets there things are not as he was told he has a really strange not quite sexual experience with his cousin? …
