You don't have to be an outdoorsman... October 17, 1999
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
...to enjoy these genuinely humorous stories. Patrick McManus's way of saying things quite seroiusly and having them end up being funny is really a riot. These stories are almost as good when you read them the 10th time as they are when you first read them. My favorites: "Poof!No Eyebrows!", and "the Mountain Car". These two are absolutely hilarious, but all the stories in this book are great. This book makes for great summer reading.
a real tear-jerker October 6, 1999

Patrick McManus is one of the few authors I know who can make me laugh after reading only the first sentence of one of his stories. His writing teems with belly-aching ineptitude about the great outdoors and life in general. This book and others by him are sure to bring tears to the sensible (or maybe not so sensible) reader.
The funniest book in print August 9, 1999

I picked up this book by accident and after reading my first story "Poof No Eyebrows" I was rolling on the floor laughing. I have now included all Mr. MaManus's books to my collection. I'm a woman and it give me a totally new look at boys and men. It also gave me an idea of what to expect out of my teenage son. This book is a keeper.
Simply a masterpiece of humor through creative writing! January 4, 1999

Patrick F. McManus has an unsurpased gift for humor. He will relate stories about his experiences in such a way that one or two details are left out or made to seem unimportant. Later in the story, when these details are uncovered, the situation he has described to that point suddenly takes on a whole new and hilarious twist. Truely, this is simple (often nastolgic) humor at its best.Shelton S. Herbert
 terrific straight-faced humor about the outdoors November 24, 1996
Find out how to stalk the wild asparagus, how to carve a bean properly, what a mountain car is, and other crucial skills to survive the outdoors
