Greasy Through the Sky

This was actually a very interesting book. Greasy is a 17 year old boy that is given a medical diagnosis that impacts his life. He lives with his elderly grandmother since he lost both his parents. With his diagnosis he decides to drop out of school to help take care of her financially. He soon realizes that it going to take a bit more that expected.
Greasy decided to contact a local TV show with their situation hoping to make a few extra buck. He sure didn’t bargain for what they had in mind. Well worth the listen.

I though the narration was spot on. Megan did a great job!

I was given this audiobook and I am voluntarily leaving my review.

A Boy Named Greasy

Greasy Through the Sky
By: Andrew Rolston

A seventeen year old boy named Greasy has been raised by his 102 year old grandmother. That in itself is a bit questionable, but theoretically possible. Greasy was

always put first by his grandmother. All of her children and in-laws have died. When Greasy starts having memory problems the adventure begins.

This is an interesting listen, with the exception of the overuse of "g** d***." I found that and a couple other phrases annoying!! The use of excess similes is

hilarious. Lots of twists and turns that keep the listener guessing. I will listen to other works by this author if the language is less profane. An occasional swear

is OK for emphases, but overuse detracts.

The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Megan Scharlau did a decent job.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Seriously Dark

This story is about a boy named Greasy. He has to face some pretty serious matters. It has a lot of dark humor, and at times it is so well written that it's very cringeworthy. Be forewarned, this book is not only very sad, but the suspense will make you very tense.

Interesting story with a bit of frustration

The story is interesting, and certainly takes a few turns I didn't expect. I also thought the narration was really good.

I did get a little irritated with the overuse of the phrase "god damn." I'm not offended by it (or cursing in general) but a main character says it constantly - sometimes 5 times in a sentence.

To be fair, if I were reading the book I would probably gloss over the repetition, but as an audiobook, it was a distraction.
