Publisher's summary

How much is too much to love?

Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.

In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. Just when he thought he was invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.

Every story has two sides. In Jamie McGuire's New York Times best seller Beautiful Disaster, Abby had her say. Now it's time to see the story through Travis's eyes.

Disaster indeed

He's one of the world's worst communicators and she's dumb as a box of rocks.

He's a much more observant narrator than she is, so I can honestly say I liked this better than Beautiful Disaster. I still want to pitch Abby head first into a lake right after I box Travis' ears for not finding healthier outlets for his anxiety, but at least they both got their crap together by the end.

It wasn't really the same story

I have to admit I was soooo excited for this book to come out...and yet so dreading reading this book! I wanted to hear Travis's side of things, but didn't want to ruin my impression of book one!

Happy to say a good medium was found and the book was kind of like a behind the scenes version of book 1, very cool! Hope other authors take a look at this, I would love to have some of my past favorites written from the other main characters perspective!

Well done!

Fabulous!

Any additional comments?

This is book 2 that follows Beautiful Disaster. It is basically Travis' POV. I love a mans' POV. I was touched by Travis' heartfelt emotions when he thought he had lost Pidge. Overall, a wonderful listen!

All Hail Travis Maddox

Would you listen to Walking Disaster again? Why?

I really enjoyed listening to this story told from Travis's prospective. I have already listened twice.

What other book might you compare Walking Disaster to and why?

I have no comparison for this book, but I am actively looking for another character to take me over the way Travis did. I even tried another book in this series, but was thoroughly let down.

Which scene was your favorite?

My Favorite scenes all involved moments where you see Travis's raw unashamed love for Abby. When she left him after there bet, when he cried with his brothers, her birthday party. I could never pick one favorite.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed, got really pissed off at the stupidity of man and fell in love. There have been very few male characters to move me the way Travis has.

Any additional comments?

I would be remiss if i didn't give the narrator a very big shout out here. He was great! He made me feel for Travis in a way I'm sure I never could reading the story myself. I definitely would listen to another performance by him.
