Kerplunk!: Stories Audiobook

" Not my favorite McManus, but there are some gems; "Camping Out with Lewis & Clark", "'Uh-Oh!' (And Other Things Guides Shouldn't Say)", and "The Ordinary" were all laugh-out-loud funny. All stories are reprints from columns written for Outdoor Life, so if you keep up with his columns, there won't be anything new. But McManus is always good for understated humor and an easy read. "

" Amazing as always. "

" A collection of stories from an outdoorsman humorist. "

" I have to admit that these stories have grown a little stale over time and retelling. I remember him being so funny from when I read these books as a kid and now they are just a little silly. But I still love McManus for all the good memories. "

" Classic McManus! "

" This was thoroughly enjoyable, very funny! The writing was great and the reader expressed it perfectly. Very good storytelling. "

" If you read this, and you should, make sure to read the last story. The ending is bit of a twist if you pay attention and the idea of what life could be is wonderful. "

" An entertaining book full of belly laughs. I'm now a McManus fan. "

" I can't honestly recommend this book, because it's a collection of nonsense and tall tales, but it's really rather funny, so if you want to read something for pure intertainment.... "

" Funny book about one man's experiences with fishing and hunting. Surprisingly, I enjoyed this book even though I have no interest in hunting or fishing! You don't need to know anything about either to enjoy this book. "

" McManus is a fun author whose short stories are quick easy reads. They're good to relax with at the end of the day to just turn my mind off. I've read several of his books and enjoyed this one just as much. "

" Loved this book. His stories are so enteraining! What a joy to read! "

" This is a great filler book. I've been reading it inbetween the big, long, hard-to-finish books that I'm reading right now. It's nice to take a break and read some funny Pat McManus stories. My favorite story in here is one about fly fishing. Pat is totally like my dad! "

" It was a nice non-thinking read. I liked that each chapter was its own story so I could pick it up and put it down without having missed anything, or having to remember where I left off. "

" Funny! Take Patrick McManus camping with you. "

" I was helpless, I'm already competely hooked on anything McManus does.... "

" Well....I didn't finish it. I started and got through a few stories. The humor wasn't necessarily bad, it just didn't speak to me. "

" I am a fan of Patrick McManus and I own all of his books. Hilarious stories of outdoor life with McManus and his buddies. "

" Definitely like the older ones better.... They Shoot Canoes, Don't They and the others. Some good chapters that still evoke the laughs, others were just ok. "

" A friend suggested this writer to me.I chose this collection to get an idea of his writing,he is really funny.He is also very prolific and will keep me laughing for quite a while.Thanks,Phyllis! "

" Such a sweet reminder of childhood, when, at my grandparents', we'd all round-robin the newest Patrick F. McManus:) "

" The dog flatulence story made me cry! Overall a very funny book worth reading if you enjoy the outdoors. "

" This book is hilarious! Often, I was laughing so loud, it was embarrassing. Reader beware, you might not want to read this book in a library, on an airplane during a redeye flight, or any other seriously quiet place. "

" Boring for the most part. If you like countrified drivel, pick it up. "

" Pat McManus is usually really funny. I was not as impressed with this one... "

" Certainly not the best from McManus but a decent read non-the-less. I've always loved the romance with which he captures some of the most goofy fishing stories I've ever heard but was a little underwhelmed on the humor side. Usually he's a lot funnier. "

" This is an easy book to pick up, read a story and be on to other things. "

" I am not a Patrick McManus fan, but I got this book on CD to listen to in the car with Scott on our 12 hour drive to and from Utah. "

" At one point I might have called McManus my favorite writer. Now I remember why. "
