We love Amazon! Here's the wonderful 13 hour, 10 tape set for less than the price of the abridged one! Plus it has veteran reader George Guidall as the narrator! The recipient of the Obie Award (the Oscar of Audiobooks!) he has appeared in nearly 100 productions ranging from Shakespeare to Neil Simon! You may have seen him on TV where he does soap operas, and TV shows like Law and Order, The Equalizer, and Spencer For Hire. I firmly believe the reader is most important when selecting an audiobook. This is a wonderful story too! If you like the movie Sunshine Boys, you'll love Niagara! Drawn to Vaudville from a jewish upbringing, in a small town, Mose Sharp meets Rocky Carter at a comedy club. Missing his usual sideman, Rocky enlists Mose to participate in his routine. On stage, Rocky's hilarious emotional exaggeration, and absurdity come into their own with Mose's deadpan delivery - and just like that, a new comedy duo is born. Their career streches from Vaudville, to Broadway, to Hollywood; until a series of unforgivable acts tears them apart. Personally I like this story way better than Sunshine boys for the simple reason I can imagine it. George Guidall's experienced narration finds its perfect complement in McCracken's prose! Five Stars for both story, and performance!
