As is usual from author Caihm McDonnell. We are on one of his Bunny’s fantastic trips. With beautifully written twists and turns. McDonnell’s humour finds the page, seemingly with ease, invoking my laughter. Relating to Bunny’s good hearted actions, and principles. Caihm McDonnell doesn’t stop working creatively well. Every book a winner. Imo’s.

The ‘performer’ is enthusiastic. Some English accents askew. I’m English, the performer American. Got a bit disquieted by the word *shone. Pronounced as *shown. Often wondered whether performing for adults or young children. The entire collection of the Wandering Inn books have kept me entertained, and in awe of the Author’s imaginative, descriptive, writing. In particular Pirateaba’s character writing. The convergence of reality meets fantasy. All sorts going on. The author seems inspired by the influential and those they influence. I don’t regret purchasing or listening to each book. I wonder what, if anything, is next on the author’s mind. After Wandering in to it. I hope a new set of characters and storylines, as well written. Big ask.

Asimov was on time, on point, a man, racing ahead of women. Should he have? You decide.
A very well written account of all things are possible but not always predictable, and or probable.

This is subtly crazy. Concept very unusual. Title is descriptive so no spoilers from me.

Obviously supposed to appeal to middle class men. I suppose the author finds his characters amusing. Misogynistic drivel. Could not even get through chapter 4. Surprised anyone wanted to narrate.

I was pulled in to this intense book by both narrator and author. Based on a true story. The honesty about every circumstance and situation the author finds himself in or, deliberately strides into & the characters descriptions, they are all believable, clear pictures for the imagination … it is outstanding. So well and respectfully written, but at times almost unbearable. It grabs, disturbs, informs and amuses . . . Read incredibly well with accents bringing characters alive to the imagination too. A 5 stars all the way through yes listen, from me.

The narrator takes a bit of getting used to. But who else?
I found it was well worth the listen.
I can’t ‘laugh’ or find comedic any of the grim circumstances & situations I heard while listening to this. It was nice to hear the main character develop.
This story tells well, the actual human reactions, among adults, to the situations that many elderly find themselves in and how they are thought of and treated.
Things that happen in a Continent driven by one thing, money & all it can buy. So well in fact that I’d like to know what happens next…..everyone struggles emotionally, physically or both, before, during or after they become ‘old’, that is made quite clear in a lighthearted manner. Attitudes towards the old and how they’re ‘cared’ for obviously differ. If you, like me, enjoy kindness, you’ll probably enjoy this story. It has a middle class, money, not personal qualities, makes a person better than one without money, attitude and theme throughout. But the main character evolves well and the others are told well. Listen for yourself.
