Publisher's summary

John Ford, Sr., returns to the outdoors of Maine with This Cider Still Tastes Funny!: Further Adventures of a Game Warden in Maine, his follow-up to the highly popular and critically acclaimed Suddenly, the Cider Didn't Taste So Good.

Ford is a retired Maine game warden, sheriff, and gifted storyteller who carved out a reputation as a man of the law, but one who wasn't a by-the-book enforcer. He often came up with a good quip as he slipped the handcuffs on a violator, and he wasn't above accepting a lesson learned as sufficient penalty for breaking the law. He was also more than willing to laugh at himself.

As Kate Braestrup, author of the New York Times best seller Here if you Need Me, said, John Ford's stories from his long career as a Maine game warden are offered with humility and good humor, and demonstrate an abiding affection for the land, creatures, and quirky characters of Maine. Ford is an appealing character, a great storyteller, and he's funny.

Amusing Tales from the North Woods

This book is a collection of essays recounting John Ford's days serving as a game warden in The Great State of Maine. As I'm sure you'll have guessed, it's full of tales of apprehending lawbreakers of all sorts. Most of these stories are humorous. Many of them made me chuckle out loud. There are a few that are poignant as well.

I enjoyed listening to these stories. I'm always interested in people's lives, told in their own words. That's the reason I requested a free review copy of this audiobook. I liked the simple, straight-forward writing. The narration by Michael A Smith enhanced these real life stories. I could easily imagine all the antics described by Mr Ford. Recommended.

This is my voluntary review.

Who Knew that Life in the Woods Could Be So Funny?

When I was in high school I found a lot of enjoyment in backpacking on the Appalachian Trail and crawling around in caves with my friends. Thirty years later—not so much—but I still enjoy reading clever accounts of backwoods happenings. The sort of stories told by Patrick McManus, Bill Heavey and now John Ford. Unlike McManus and Heavey, Ford wasn’t a professional writer—he was a game warden in Maine, but his stories are just as entertaining. If you think you’d enjoy a good humored look at life trying to enforce the hunting laws, you should give this book a try.

I received this book from Audiobook Boom in exchange for an honest review.

A hilarious look at the life of a game warden

We all do the jobs that we do. Some work in the same field for our whole lives some hop from job type to job type and never settle long in one career path. Regardless of which category we fall into, we all have a story (or many) to tell of the crazy and weird things that happen. If you don’t have any stories to tell you truly have a boring job. This author did not have an even remotely boring job. The stories contained within range from amusing to hilarious, basic to gross, normal to truly odd. Welcome to the life of a game warden in Maine. Learn about the trials and tribulations, the brotherhood of the badge, the loyalty of friends and the limits and lines that people will not tolerate being crossed. Every bit was enjoyable and educational.

Laugh yourself silly!

What a hoot! We spent a number of years in northern Wisconsin and it was so easy to see that people who live out in the back of beyond in snow country have an awful lot in common. But this game warden has a real gift for remembering and sharing funny stories about working the woods and nabbing the lawbreakers. Loved it! Michael A Smith's narration really adds to the fun!
