The Bear in the Attic Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Storytelling. "

" Not my favorite of McManus' works. This seems to have a lot of rehashed stories told from a little different angle in it. His writing style seems a little tired as well. The early books are great though. "

" So far not as good as Rubber legs..still amusing though. One thing I like about these is that the stories are short. I can't keep my eyes open anymore for more than about 20 minutes. "

" The title story is truly a story of Poetic Justice. Love his books! "

" This is a charming essay collection by humorist Patrick McManus that I lucked into finding on audiotape at the library, some of them were laugh out loud funny! "

" excellent group of very funny stories. very hard to put it down. "

" I started listening to the audiobook, and while there was nothing wrong with the stories I just couldn't stand the narrator. He just sounded cranky with me, and I couldn't handle the guilt. I'd recommend the book if you want to read it. "

" Any McManus book is worth a read. For a real treat listen to the book narrated by Norman Dietz. There is no way to listen to his narration and not laugh out loud. We take these on family car trips. Mom and Dad and the kids love them. "

" The book isn't a continuous read, really, more like a collection of short stories. It's as if the author is telling stories around the campfire. Some of the stories are better than others (like the first chapter, also named as the title of the book). :) "

" This is not my favorite of his collections, but it is still good for a laugh or 30. "

" Anything by McManus is funny beyond reason and highly recommened. "

" This isn't the best of Pat. A few of the stories are noteworthy, but overall the book really isn't anything super special. The title story was probably the least entertaining one in the book. Not a waste of time, but not a good choice. "

" I love McManus's books! They are so funny! Especially if your in outdoorsmen (or woman). I love his stories about Crazy Eddie Muldoon from his childhood and his stories about Rancid Crabtree. This book was hysterical! I totally enjoyed it! "

" Yep, this collection has some very funny stories in it too. "

" so far so good . a few laugh out loud stories "

" a storyteller along the lines of garrison keillor, jean shepherd and tom bodett. but read/listen to them instead. "

" Having been raised on McManus since I was young, I had certain expectations about this collection of short (extremely short) stories. Not as witty as his earlier work, but still good for a chuckle or two. Nobody captures the humor of the outdoors quite like McManus. "

" Enjoyable collection of essays about the outdoors. Reminds me of the everyday absurdies that surround us. "

" So far, so good! I love Patrick McManus' books, they are so funny and enjoyable for a quick read before bed, I always end up laughing out loud and waking Brent! "

" Laugh-out-loud funny. I love Patrick McManus's low-key humor. Like all of his books, some stories are funnier than others, but they are all enjoyable. "

" Many humorous stories. I enjoyed it, but probably would be enjoyed more by a hunting and fishing enthusiest. Would read another, just not back-to-back. "

" Pat McManus is hilarious, and this is a great collection of short stories! Really laugh-out-loud funny stuff in here. "

" Not McManus's best, but still pretty entertaining "

" A tribute to my semi-rural roots. I laughed like crazy over these simple huntin' and fishin' stories. "

" This author is good for falling down, rolling on the floor belly laughs at the rate of about 1.7 per paragraph. The title essay is one of his longer pieces and IMHO each word is to be savored. "
