Publisher's Summary
In this collection of 30 tall tales, McManus introduces you to the perils of Trailer Trials and Mean Tents. Like Hemingway, McManus hunts the big fish in "Down and Way Out in Brazil". The title tale, "The Grasshopper Trap", unveils an ingenious invention for catching fish bait in motion. And in "Hunting Camp Etiquette", McManus becomes a rustic Miss Manners.
Narrator Norman Dietz adds additional spice to each impish line. You won't want to miss the other audio productions of McManus' works, including Never Sniff a Gift Fish and The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw.

"Good enough to listen to over and over"
Would you listen to The Grasshopper Trap again? Why?I listen to it ALL the time
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Grasshopper Trap?The title story. Pat McManus is a superb humor writer and Norman Dietz does a fabulous job with the voicing and the narration.
Have you listened to any of Norman Dietz’s other performances before? How does this one compare?I have chosen books BECAUSE he is the narrator. I think he's one of the best.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?I have listened to it more than 100 times (no exaggeration) and I still laugh.
Any additional comments?I realize not everyone

"Great Humor"
Would you consider the audio edition of The Grasshopper Trap to be better than the print version?An audiobook by Patrick McManus always makes the commute to and from work an enjoyable experience. Time flys and I don't even mind being stuck in traffic. You do have to be careful listening while driving, because some of the stories are so funny you could lose control of the car. I really enjoy his style of writing and his humor.
