Jayber Crow is the life story of a bachelor barber from a small town in New England. I found a lot of the book very interesting, as it provided a view of eccentric small-town life in the 20th century. I found myself skimming through the title character's philosophical waxings, though.

Overall, a good read, but not one I would pick up a second time.
