The Grass Is Always Greener over the Septic Tank

De: Erma Bombeck

Narrado por: Barbara Rosenblat

Erma Bombeck's humorous insights about family life always tickle the funny bone. Her New York Times best-sellers sold millions of copies to gleeful readers around the world.

In The Grass Is Always Greener over the Septic Tank, Bombeck rides the train to the suburbs. In lands like the Suburbian Gems subdivision, settlers from the city brave endless cul-de-sacs and overly helpful insurance salesmen. Picture windows bring new meaning to the term "neighborly". A poorly timed trip to the restroom results in a promotion to Girl Scout Cookie Captain. And brave parents fight epic battles to get sex out of the schools and back into the gutters.

With Barbara Rosenblat's perfect comic timing, the author of If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries - What Am I Doing in the Pits? and A Marriage Made in Heaven, or Too Tired for an Affair adds to her reputation as America's favorite funny lady.

Loved it ...

Very entertaining. The narrator is fabulous. Irma Bombeck was awesome. Would recommend this audible to anyone.

Read the book!

The narrator for this classic Bombeck book is ALL wrong. Bombeck had a dry wit. I wish she had read it herself!

Loved all of it!

Bombeck’s humor speaks for itself but in this case the narration, in my opinion was brilliant! Not sure why some didn’t enjoy the reading.

Family humor
