Brilliant storytelling

Where does The Better Part of the End of the Road rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is the best combination of story and voice I've ever heard. I hardly remember this fellow, but am now going to find the rest of his stuff.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Imagine if Garrison Keillor was four times as funny and had a pleasant voice.
