Story4.5 out of 5 stars 47
Whether you realize it or not, if you live in the West, you are currently engulfed in a civilization-wide cultural war that is taking place all around you. Maybe you're aware of it, or maybe you're not. It doesn't matter. The cultural war is real and it is vicious. And unlike a traditional shooting war between different nations, in a cultural war there are no civilians. There are no neutral parties, since no fence-sitting is permitted, and there is no common ground to be found. No one is permitted to sit it out or refuse to take sides; sooner or later, you are going to be forced to declare yourself by either publicly submitting to the SJW Narrative or openly rejecting it.

We should all strive to be Minivandians
Any additional comments?
I have been reading the Daddy Bear's Den blog for a couple of years, so I am familiar with some of the stories. There have been some improvements made for the published version, all of which seem positive.
The stories vary from medieval versions of familiar events (a clogged drain, the first time a barbarian's daughter goes to a dance) to epic battles against the forces of the undead. The core of the book, however, is always about love, home, and family--and passing those values on to the next generation.
My wife and I listened to this on a road trip, and while were both laughing at times, she was brought to tears more than once--tears of joy as well as tears of sadness.
The audio performance on this was very good as well. The narrator gives each character a distinctive voice that fits their personality, and he never seems to have trouble with any of the names. The tone of his voice always seemed to match the tone of the story, and that definitely helps one to be immersed in the story.
The book speaks especially loudly to me because, like the author, I have Viking blood and married an Irish lass.

Excellent, original, and humorous book
A book with a new take on reality, Tales of the Minivandians is an excellent collection of short and longer tales focused on the Minivandian, DaddyBear, and his family.
Never has the humdrum of modern home repair and modern life been quite so medieval. You'd have to read it to fully understand how funny it is when modern problems are solved in a barbarian context. It's an original and interesting concept that works very well and leaves you smiling.
Well written with lots of wry humor and with a narrator that really captures the spirit of the book, it's well worth your time listening.
