Series. Not so enjoyable as the previous books, but this is the biggest turning point in the series. Qwilleran is tired of Daily Fluxion. The managing editor wouldn't let him return criminal reporting, the "modernization" of the office irritates him, and his favorite good old press club has been changed to a tasteless, characterless thing! Qwill takes a long vacation and goes to Moose County, near the Canadian border, with his Siamese cats. At the end, Qwill's life changes most drastically; he becomes a millionaire, and he decides to quit the job and to live in Moose County. I'm afraid I can't like this drastic change. First, I don't like stories at a small, narrow, closed society of countryside very much, and I don't like this Moose County, either. Second, I loved the surroundings of Qwill as a newsman (the jolly colleague Odd Bunsen, discord with the managing editor, competition with the rival paper and so on) and the urban atmosphere of the previous books. Nevertheless, I'll read the 6th book at least, because I still love Qwill, Koko and Yum Yum.
