Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Beware! Should you acquire a taste for the population of "The End of the Road," Tom Bodett's small, fictitious Alaskan town, these tapes will not be enough. This well-produced series--based on Bodett's books and also heard on NPR--should come with a warning: "Caution! May be habit forming." Complete with an original piano score by Johnny B., the tapes intro-duce us to a formidable array of eccentrics--not all lovable, but all too human. Bodett's short stories are perfect for the audio format, and his matching, low-key, folksy style is equally addictive. L.(H.) B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

This review is from: Better Part of the End of the Road (Audio Cassette)
Once more America's most distinctive humorist and storyteller invites us to spend a thoroughly entertaining visit with our friends at the End of the Road. The townspeople at the End of the Road survived the Alaska oil spill, but life has a few more upheavals in store. Old Angus Winslow's begun to worry about the memory lapses he's been having since he banged his head. But that hasn't stopped him from declaring his interest, after 25 years in Ruby McClay. Ed Flannigan has a fateful encounter with a pipe wrench, and a stuck dump truck that will put him in an Anchorage hospital, and change his life. And Emmitt Frank, who came to Alaska looking for nature and himself, gets booted out of his town apartment and lands in a backwoods cabin to find both - for better or for worse.
From babysitting disasters, to the strangest set of wedding bells Alaska has ever seen, life takes some strange turns, and then again goes on pretty much as usual. 2 cassettes. Approximate running time is 2 hours, 10 minutes. If you like Tom Bodett's stories and voice, this is very enjoyable.
