5.0 out of 5 stars I'm the guy in "Outdoor Burnout"., August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rubber Legs and White Tail Hairs (Audio Cassette)

I am the guy Pat talks about at the beginning of "Outdoor Burnout" At the time I wrote to him I was sick of the outdoors and nature in general, Pat put it all into perspective for me. Now when I get fed up with bad weather, balky lanterns, leaky tents, and all the other hazards of the great outdoors, I stop and think, "Pat could make a great story out of this".

3.0 out of 5 stars I love him but, September 5, 2008

This review is from: Rubber Legs and White Tail-Hairs (Paperback)

I will bow to no one in my appreciation of Mcmanus, I have read his books and literally rolled onto the floor laughing so hard I was crying. Rubber Legs and White Tail-Hairs is not his funniest. I don't regret getting it but in relation to several others this book is about a C+ rather than an A+. The stories in "The Night the Bear ate Goomba" for example makes me cry; Fortunately I didn't wet my pants too. Everything by McManus is worth reading but he sets such a high standard for himself it would be impossible to reach the bar every time.
