The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw

De: Patrick McManus

Narrado por: Norman Dietz

Patrick McManus, author of How I Got This Way and one of America's favorite humorists, is an impish commentator on the obvious and not so obvious absurdities of modern life. His national best seller, The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw, is a collection of hilarious short pieces about fishing, its exotic equipment, and activities like "gunkholing."

You will learn, for example, that the best way to learn to fish is to build an addition to your house first. It should be big enough to hold all the nifty fishing equipment you will cart home from sporting goods stores and garage sales. McManus cheerfully guides you through the finer points of becoming a skilled garage-sale shopper, too.

Be prepared to enter a quixotic universe that works according to the laws of "synch" and marvelously loopy chains of cause and effect. The title selection takes place on an ill-fated camping trip; other selections include "Kid Brothers and Their Practical Application", and "As the Worm Squirms".

Hilarious family fun!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

My whole family are die hard McManus fans and listen to his stories over and over. You don't have to have ever caught a fish or gone camping to find these stories funny. They are very appropriate for children as they have no swearing or sexual references. Recommended listening for the whole family!

What did you like best about this story?

We love Mr. McManus's Crazy Eddie stories best!

Which character – as performed by Norman Dietz – was your favorite?

Crazy Eddie Muldoon is our favorite character.

Another volume of winners from a legend

Patrick McManus is, simply put, a treasure and a legend.
His stories are tall tales of growing up in the Rockies and being...ummm. "creative" in his retelling of that reality. Nothing objectionable regarding language or topics. Buy this book and then buy another for someone you know that needs a good laugh. Highly recommended.

Great book!

This is a great book to listen to with family and friends. So funny. Great humor.

I LOVE these books!

I have read/listened to EVERY one of Patrick F. Mcmanus' books several times! The stories never get old. It is good, clean humor that my sons and I have enjoyed together for years! if you like fishing, hunting, camping, basically any outdoor stuff, you will love these too. I wish he was still around to give us more...The world lost a truly funny man and national treasure when he passed. The Narrator Norman Dietz, IS the voice of Patrick McManus and all his hapless characters, especially Rancid Crabtree, my favorite! No one else should even try! Absolutely recommend every book!
