You Can Lead a Horse to Water (But You Can't Make it Scuba Dive)

A Novel

De: Robert Cormack

Narrado por: Bernard Clark

Down the street, a dog is running around a lamp post on a leash. I feel like I’m on a similar trajectory. Sam Bennett is the last of a dying breed, a former Mad Man, now made redundant after 30 years at the same advertising agency. Left with his awards and a case of Bulgarian whiskey (which he still can’t remember buying), Sam retreats to his home, awaits the summer arrival of his daughter and crazy son-in-law, Muller, is plagued by panic attacks and has an incident involving a pressed ham on a liquor store window with a young security guard named Max. With the ground feeling like a trampoline, Sam sets out to do the one thing Mary, his wife, wants more than anything else - a grandchild. It won’t be easy with Muller, his suicidal son-in-law, jumping off roofs and drinking green paint, but life is full of surprises. Meanwhile, Muller wants Max’s mom, and Max’s dad, Otis, has the craziest online show in Chicago called, Otis Cries for You. As Sam’s doctor Krupsky tells him, "Life’s a crapshoot. At least you filled the cheap seats." Sam is about to learn the greatest lessons in life, even if it means stealing his neighbor’s pot, and getting more people stoned than he ever imagined possible.

FUN READ!

Stumbled upon this book, and was so glad that I did! Quite a hoot. Love the characters. Love the narration. Kind of out there, but in a very, very good way!

Fun

I loved this book. Narration was good, story silly and fun. Well worth a listen.

Good story

Well read. Good all around story. I like stories where the characters express themselves as who they are.

what,? lol

so much and so funny and real, I want more from the author and narrator was spot on

Enjoyable read.

It deals with serious problems with dry humor. I like the way it was written.

Extra fun book!

The narration is fantastic!!! Each character has a unique sound. He’s quite talented! The story is fun and enjoyable. Very recommended.

Ridiculous

This was a bit of a nonsense story, and that’s why it was so good. Sometimes a break from reality is needed. This filled the bill. I hope Mr. Cormack writes another.

A pleasant surprise

This author is new to me, but I'm glad I clicked on it. Several times I laughed aloud, not a common thing for me.

It's about life, healing, friendship and love. Refreshing in this era of gloom and doom.

Thank you, Mr. Cormack! Write on!

Great surprise read

I randomly choose this book. I found myself laughing out loud! I throughly enjoyed it!
