The Garden Plot Diaries

Stories One Through Four

De: Endy Wright

Narrado por: Richard Salem

In the small town of Monadnock, New Hampshire, two aging veterans watch as war breaks out between its Garden Society and other community organizations, all set to the seasons and schedules of a New England vegetable garden.

Small town government overreach meets its match. When an errant bottle finds itself into the trash instead of the recycling bin, the authorities are called in to investigate. The investigation is shocking: Not only does it reveal a root beer bottle among the general recyclables but also the potential for juvenile cannibalism. Or not.

German Chinese operatives infiltrate Monadnock and threaten the freedom of America. They may be old, but they still know how to kick some ass. God bless America.

There is nothing better than an autumnal tale of horror and suspense. Safe to go out into the fields? Safe to choose a pumpkin to carve into a jack-o-lantern? Maybe. Maybe not. Only in the quiet New England town of Monadnock can a German farmer of Guernseys make you think twice about accepting a free New England pumpkin, but perhaps with good reason.

This is wild

Truly capitivating. Intriguing/suspenseful. Don't beat your brains hypothesizing the next page as it continuously takes an unexpected fascinating twist. So the plot thickens. Never heard of this author. He has a unique imagination. Highly recommend

Hilarious stories and a brilliant performance!

I have hundreds of audiobooks and I have always preferred a production that was made with a full cast (women speaking the voice of women, men for men) but this audiobook has changed my mind! Mr. Salem's "smokey smooth" voice is brilliant and I found myself sucked into the STORY in a way I haven't experienced with multiple voice productions. I was also cracked up by the witty story and found myself identifying with the characters more than once, but this review is on the audiobook so I'll try to stick to the audio portion for this review. I am constantly annoyed by many audiobooks by changes in pace, volume and sound quality but this production stood out from most and before I knew it I'd listened to the whole 5+ hours and missed my bedtime. Mr. Salem's ability to switch between characters and his soothing voice is great! I especially enjoyed his version of the trash police officer's voice. Quite the variety of voices but all from one person! (think Mel Blanc) I'll be listening to more by this audio artist in the future. I usually post only negative reviews to warn people about poor products, so much so that I've had more than my fair share of nasty emails from Amazon telling me they won't post my review. I seldom post positive reviews because I expect a product that I pay for to be good quality. After all, I'm paying good money for it, So I guess I'm quite a bit like the characters in the story, I do occasionally post a positive review if a product is way better than I ever imagined. I waited 2 days before posting this review because I was sure there must be something I was forgetting to complain about, but finally decided it was just one of those products that deserve a good review.
