BIG WASN'T A BIG ENOUGH WORD FOR THE BIG MAN
COLLEGE IS NOTHING BUT A SAFETY NET YOU JUMP INTO AFTER 12TH GRADE
I am about the only member of audible who listens to Steve Vernon. Most of his writing is pretty off key and seems too silly or disgusting to many. It is unfortunate that I can not recommend this book. None of the stories are awful, but none are great either. It does not help that all his recordings sound like they are produced in a drafty basement. I have now listened to everything available at audio and suggest if you are interested, start with NOTHING TO LOSE: THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN NOTHING
