"M*A*S*H goes to Maine" by Richard Hooker

Similar to the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency books, this review runs the risk of being a cut and paste of the first M*A*S*H book. Except without the references to the Korean War. Or the film. But apart from that... anyhoo, back to the review...

Fun and easy to read (like the first) and alternately amusing and touching (like the first), the continued adventures of Hawkeye and the gang were enjoyable, if not actually earth-shaking. While the story of Moose's song was definitely an eye-dampener, as I write this I can't really call to mind any other particularly great sequences. A pleasant read, but not exactly a life-changer, "M*A*S*H goes to Maine" is definitely worth a look, if for no other reason than it'll only take ye about a day or two to read it.
