5.0 out of 5 stars Six degrees of separation., October 25, 2000

This review is from: Peach Picking Time, Volume 3 (Tom Bodett's American Odyssey) (Audio Cassette)

The characters that were introduced in the first volume and continued their journeys in the second volume begin to meet each other. Either knowingly or not, their destinies are all intertwined. As they say, you are only six degrees of separation from anyone in the world. The six degrees is the maximum, and our characters are all going to be much closer than the six by the time we are done.

Ed and Norman both learn hard, but valuable lessons. Tom has brought them so close to the listener that it actually hurts to hear them learning the hard lessons. The others are learning new things as well, but not in so tough a manner as Ed and Norman. We still have a ways to go, and need to learn more about the chracters and how they are all related.
