Good sound

Loved Kevin's own voice reading his book which made his stories more fun and adventurous.

So Great!!!!

Kevin is the legend in relaxed dry humor, and can slip in the joke without noticing some times! Keep it up Kevin, and keep on hiking!

Laugh out loud with Kevin!

This is a book of great insight and very comical takes on life itself. I enjoyed every single bit of it and wish there was more!

Kevin surprised me...

with his all in attitude and an excellent memory, he makes these stories live and feel alive. they home . he shamelessly name drops without making it seem like he's name dropping ! it's a balance he maintains throughout each chapter and it's wonderfully done. highly recommended

I wish it was longer

Fun listen!

Enjoyed Kevin’s stories and experiences with the muses of his artwork- people from all fifty walks of life.
