Better Part of the End of the Road

Product Description The author of The End of the Road and Small Comforts returns to his fictional Alaska town, The End of the Road, to present more unforgettable stories about its colorful inhabitants and their doings. From AudioFile Beware! Should you acquire a taste for the population of "The End of the Road," Tom Bodett's small, fictitious Alaskan town, these tapes will not be enough. This well-produced series--based on Bodett's books and also heard on NPR--should come with a warning: "Caution! May be habit forming." Complete with an original piano score by Johnny B., the tapes intro-duce us to a formidable array of eccentrics--not all lovable, but all too human. Bodett's short stories are perfect for the audio format, and his matching, low-key, folksy style is equally addictive. L.(H.) B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
