The Mother Road

De: Meghan Quinn

Narrado por: Greyson Ash, J.F. Harding

Never in a million years would I have pictured myself as an axe-wielding, dragon lady, chopping up multi-colored flannel shirts into my very own plaid mulch. But here I am, chopping away my frustrations.

It all started when my brother, Paul, convinced me to go on one last family road trip across the Mother Road with him and my dad. Just like old times, right? Wrong. What Paul fails to mention is his best man, Porter, will be joining us, who just so happens to be my childhood crush and the man who broke my heart four years ago. What is supposed to be a fun family bonding experience across Route 66 turns into a war of pranks, awkward moments and bathrooms full of dirty flannel shirts and day-old beard clippings. Paul's know-it-all attitude and Porter's devilish charm brings me to the brink of my sanity on my seven-day trek across the United States with three bearded men in a small 1980s RV.

HI-larious

This book was friggin hilarious. There was lots of potty mouth, but I like that kinda thing. The dynamics of this family are endearing yet comic relief. Bless the person whose family looks like this. I loved all the details of the road trip - it allows the reader to follow along, maybe even allowing the reader to make a list for their own RT 66 trip. The yummy Porter made up for all of the bodily fluid jokes...
Meghan Quinn is definitely an author worth spending your money on to read!

"You always feel so much better about yourself when your friend gets angry with you rather than trying to solve the problem. Sometimes, you just need to bitch."

Good Enough Humor

I didn’t go into this with many expectations since Meghan Quinn is pretty new to me as an author, but based on some of the comments And the previous Meghan Quinn book I wanted it to be more.

I enjoyed the premise of the story, fulfilling the final dream family road trip, one that their mother/wife wanted to take down Route 66, but I did have a little problem with some of the narration. I think the male narrator tried too hard with the voice inflections, I appreciate that he tried to change for the different characters just wasn’t a fan of voices. With that said the banter was good between Porter and Marley but the banter between Marley and her brother Paul was more on the childish side, it was hard for me to picture sibling adults talking and behaving the way they did. The banter with the dad was also a little weird, but yet there were parts that were oddly funny and sometimes hilarious.

The Mother Load

Load of fun! Loved the characters. Loved their story. Laughed a lot along the way!!!!

Adorable

Anything by Meghan Quinn is going to be a win. This story was hilarious, I loved every bit of it, and I think it was funnier listening to it than it would have been if I read it!

Meh. Too many poop jokes.

There were parts of this book I liked and thought were really good, but quite honestly I got tired of the poop jokes. Some of the humor went just over the edge to stupid.
