Reseñas de la Crítica

Bodett, Alaskan humorist ( The End of the Road), returns to the old garage in the small Alaskan town of End of the Road, a local landmark where the colorful characters in this miscellany gather to tell and retell their stories....The stories, like the characters, are plain and simple, evocative of life in a frontier state. Readers will place Bodett, a radio personality, in the company of such commentators on Americana as Garrison Keillor. ( Publishers Weekly)
"Meeting his characters is like meeting people in a small town with real-life pleasures and problems. Junkyard owner Argus Winslow took 25 years to ask Ruby McClay for a date, and never understood the 'indelicacy' of bringing rabbit stew to an annual Easter egg hunt. Emmit Frank, city manager, succumbs to the beauty and natural pleasures (fishing) of Alaska...." ( School Library Journal)

Always good even the third time

I have all of these on cassette but when I saw them here I bought them again and listen on frequent flights. I hope Tom writes more stories someday. I would like them unabridged better.

Timeless food for the soul

Listened to this series of books with my young ones on road trips when they were little. Revisiting them now after many years of changes and loving them even more. Real life, real love, real purpose. Thank you.

Super cool 😎

Everything about this book is amazing, told by somebody that talks like everybody used to talk, simple and plain!
