Publisher's Summary:

It begins with a sea lion committing sexual harassment and ends with the avenging spirit of Steve McQueen. In between, a nudist mascot, a Kansas hick with an eBay streak, and a beautiful marine biologist. (Is there any other kind?) Wild and weird, it's hilarious adventure on America's wettest coast. And living proof that you don't need to be drenched in sun to get beach slapped - hard.

Beach Slapped, is a mystery novel in the tradition of Carl Hiaasen. Focusing on the just-off-of-center residents of Surfland, a half-fictional city of 10,000 people on the wet and weird coast of Oregon, the adventure isn't just about getting the bad guy, it's about the lovable lunatics met along the way. From the sci-fi geek who never met a galactic parable he didn't love, to a father-turned-stalker, to the volunteer fire fighter who insists a stuffed dalmatian always ride shotgun, everyone's favorite oddball friend is here, just a little bit odder.

In the middle of it all is reluctant hero Jackson Poe, a freelance writing renegade from the corporate world writing stories about $30,000 bathrooms just to pay the bills. Refusing to give in to reality or climate, he buys his Hawaiian shirts at Goodwill and his cars topless. Always one sandal step ahead of his bills, his ex-girlfriend and the occasional cop looking to make a monthly ticket quota, Poe is living life just the way he likes it: roof rertracted and relaxed.

But that all changes one morning when he discovers marine biologist Callista Walker being harassed by a sea lion in a way they never discussed in college. Hoping to discover who chased her into the chilly ocean to drown, (the sea lion was an added bonus) Poe and Walker stumble into a scheme that will take them from the edge of the sea to a galaxy of reality show stupidity that's unfortunately not so far away. And whether it's rampant developers, landau roofs or Bette Midler's Wind Beneath My Wings, everywhere Poe looks there are threats to his world as he knows it.

Fortunately, he's not alone in that world. And in a tale that spans from Kansas to the coast, one very naked culinary artist/mascot, the most clueless yet persevering romantic in history, and Wagner's Valkyries join with Poe as he attempts to spiritedly chase down the bad guys with the top down on his convertible no matter what waits over the horizon.

Publisher's Summary:

When we last saw Wendy Darlin and Roger Jolley, they'd recovered twelve of the thirteen Egyptian icons stolen from the British Museum. Wendy, Miami realtor and part-time tomb raider, is now in a frantic race against time and a murderer as she searches for the last Lost Boy hidden somewhere in London while a killer heat wave invades the city.

Members Reviews:

Join Wendy on her latest wacky adventure!

Fun on the run with Wendy Darlin and her Roger Jolly. Each hysterical novel in the series is an easy stand-alone, but the hilarity multiplies exponentially as you stack up the puns and innuendoes by reading more of them. Here they are on the hunt for the last Lost Boy as commissioned by Benny Hanna. There is lots more going on, but no spoilers here! Whenever you have too much stress, just grab one of the Wendy Darlin series and laugh yourself silly.

Nicole gives a great audio performance once again

Woeful accents!

Would you try another book from Barbara Silkstone and/or Nicole Colburn?

I would be very cautious considering the narrator chosen for this book.

What was most disappointing about Barbara Silkstones story?

The narrator. It is difficult to follow the story when I'm constantly wincing at the dreadful accents and the stilted style of the narrator.

Would you be willing to try another one of Nicole Colburns performances?

Absolutely not.

What character would you cut from London Broil?

I couldn't immerse myself in this book because of the horror narration.

Any additional comments?

Don't ever ask this narrator to try accents again.

Funny and filled with action

Would you consider the audio edition of London Broil to be better than the print version?

Love this series. Wendy Darlin is a cross between Lara Croft and Lucille Ball. Book two has her searching for a stolen Egyptian icon hidden somewhere in London. The clever play on words and the quirky character names are like a treasure hunt within a treasure hunt. One must read all of them to get the full depth of the characters, as each book expands on at least one of the previous book's characters. Cant wait for book three.

Super funny!

I had to laugh out loud a lot when I was reading this book. It was my kind of humor and I like stories written from a man's view. As a German in the U.S it's great to read a book which jokes I can relate to :) Super funny book in my eyes!

Leichte Kost - amuesant

Das ist mal wieder eines der Buecher, die ich ohne externe Empfehlung nicht mal finden wuerde. Aber es liest sich schoen, ist leicht verdaulich und handlich im Format. Ideal fuer die Reise und am Strand.

Title: Black to the Grindstone

Author: Arthur Black

Narrator: Pete Larkin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-29-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

Longlisted for the 2007 Victoria Butler Book Prize

Arthur Black - best-selling author, three-time winner of the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour, beloved radio personality, and newspaper columnist - proves in his latest sidesplitting collection of tales, Black to the Grindstone, that, without a doubt, you not only get better but funnier with age.

Demonstrating once again why he is one of Canada's most loved jokesters, Black masterfully captures the laughter that often bursts out of the seams of everyday life. From an unexpected drag race to a Google search for a picture of the illusive "Arthur the Meek", you just never know when a regular day is going to turn into comedic genius. Black provides uproarious insight into uses a matador might have for a teacup, mango, or simply some paper towel, the lengths one might go to defend the aural mishearing we've believed in for far too long, and the bitter deception felt upon discovering that the hootenanny's bathroom really isn't "on the right" after all. But be warned - adding these stories to your day-to-day listening may also double as a daily abdominal workout.

Editorial Reviews:

Finding the laughter in everyday stories is one of Arthur Black's talents, as the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour winner proves in Black to the Grindstone, a hilarious collection of folksy yarns that was longlisted for the Victoria Butler book Prize in 2007. The Saltspring Island resident's compelling tales truly come to life in a rich narration from award-winning audiobook narrator Pete Larkin. Raccoons, whales, mushroom-identification classes, and palling around with man's best friend - this former CBC Radio host's tales often boast a distinctly Canadian flavor, but their salt-of-the-earth good humor make them relatable to listeners from around the globe.

Title: Psycho Proctologists and the Flaming Buttholes of Doom

Subtitle: Psycho Proctologists, Book 1

Author: W. W. Pecker

Narrator: Bo Wills

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-18-13

Publisher: Peckerhead Press

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

Forget Fifty Shades of Grey, this book is 50 shades blacker than your a**hole...

Michael McLaren is Hollywood's proctologist to the stars. In Tinseltown, there's no shortage of famous people who need things discreetly removed from their sphincters - or who want things shoved up there. Either way, business is good. But when he discovers that demons dwell in the darkest crevices of existence, he's unwittingly initiated into a secret society of demon hunters:

The Psycho Proctologists.

The world may think they're crazy, but they're all that's standing between you and the Armageddon. Because when flaming buttholes threaten to doom humanity as we know it, who ya gonna call?

A butt doctor.

About the author: W.W. Pecker is the top-secret pen name of an award-winning author. No, really. It wasn't the Nobel Prize, or even the Pulitzer, but it was an award for writing, dammit. And no, it wasn't his third grade teacher's class prize, either. Geez. Cynical, much? When he's not writing, he can usually be found watching porn on the internet.

Members Reviews:

you know what you are getting from the title!!

i loved this book. it was rude, totally infantile and very naughty. it made me feel like a mischievous child again.

i love anything with demons. this was a new, very silly, but fun angle.

if you are easily offended or don't have a scatalogical sense of humour, don't buy it. you have been warned!

Sick, Twisted, Hilarious!

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

The only person twisted enough to make a movie of this would be Quentin Tarantino!

Any additional comments?

Absolutely the most fun I've had listening to a book in ages. I only wish that it was longer. I was laughing so hard I had to pull off the road.

Title: Doughnut

Author: Tom Holt

Narrator: Ray Sawyer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-05-13

Publisher: Hachette Audio UK

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

The doughnut is a thing of beauty, a circle of fried, doughy perfection - a source of comfort in trying times, perhaps. For Theo Bernstein it is far, far more. An accident at work lost Theo his job (and his work involved preventing a Very, Very Large Hadron Collider from blowing up, so he's unlikely to get it back).

His wife has left him; he doesn't have any money; and news arrives that his good friend, Professor Pieter van Goyen, renowned physicist and Nobel laureate, has died. By leaving the apparently worthless contents of his safety deposit to Theo, however, the professor has sent him on a quest of epic proportions. A journey that will rewrite the laws of physics. A battle to save humanity itself.

This is the tale of a man who had nothing and gave it all up to find his destiny - and a doughnut.

Members Reviews:

Need to take another bite of this Doughnut...

I love Ray Sawyer's narration as much as Tom Holt's humour - dry. I'm having trouble getting to grips with this story, however. It's a great idea, but I'm not gripped. Will try again.

doughnut miss this one

What did you like most about Doughnut?

A typical Holt-ian story that takes what you know and twists it through 28 degrees to make you look at the world in a different way. The possibilities that this book opens up will keep you thinking. And then you'll want a doughnut.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Theo grows throughout the story from a character that has lost everything but never gives up, to a pawn in someone elses game to heights even he could never imagine. You stay on his side as he grows and discovers what is shaping his destiny

What about Ray Sawyers performance did you like?

The voice characterisations.are superb and paint a picture of the main players in your mind's eye with precision

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was moved by the ending; no spoilers!

Any additional comments?

A great story that takes you in unexpected dimensions

Doughnut

I am a big Tom Holt fan, I love Barking, Blonde Bombshell and, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Sausages, they are all great 5* books.

So I was thrilled to download his new book Doughnut. And I really enjoyed most of this book. It is even more strange than his other books, and even more mad. And I felt the end was just too crazy. But then a book about a infinite number of universes in the multiverse should be crazy.

Still a very enjoyable listen.

Love Tom Holt!

As always such a clever book although you have to concentrate to follow it all!

Title: The Art of Zombie Warfare

Subtitle: How to Kick Ass Like the Walking Dead

Author: Scott Kenemore

Narrator: Jeremy Arthur

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-06-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

This manual provides a review of the tactical combat advantages enjoyed by zombies and gives the listener a step-by-step guide to adopting them for him or herself. Have you wondered where the great military leaders of modern history have found their collective inspirations? Well look no further. It is the walking dead upon whom the most important tactical infantry innovations of the last three hundred years have been based.

Do you dream of becoming a soldier who fights with the efficacy and skill of a zombie? Are you a general or commander seeking to imbue your troops with the ruthless, soulless killing-efficiency of an animated corpse? Are you a voodoo priest or wizard desiring to raise an actual army of zombies to help you conquer the land and install yourself as ruler? Then, friend, this is the book for you. With this book, you will learn how to fight without weapons, communicate wordlessly, and enjoy the multifarious battlefield-strategy benefits that come with always just walking straight at the enemy. Written by the author of The Zen of Zombie and Z.E.O., The Art of Zombie Warfare is the most authoritative tome available today on the subject of zombie combat.

Editorial Reviews:

For Scott Kenemore, zombies are the world's most effective fighting machines. In his amusing and informative The Art of Zombie Warfare, listeners learn the techniques that make zombies such impressive warriors, from single-minded and bloodthirsty focus to inspiring fear in the enemy.

What seems like an arch premise is grounded with the right balance of humor and incisiveness by Jeremy Arthur, whose performance inspires the listener's greater contemplation of Kenemore's assertion that the history of winning combat is littered with zombie-like traits. The Art of Zombie Warfare is a clever guide to unlocking the undead warrior within.

Members Reviews:

Clever, but redundant

The book is well written. It's very redundant though. If you're into the zombie genre (which I am) then you'll enjoy this book. It was featured in an Air Force Times article, so I clicked the link and bought it. It's fun, mostly original, but slow. The repetition of concepts required me to push through the book to the finish. There are some wonderfully amusing parts however. All in all, good for the zombie library for when the doo-doo hits the fan. ;)

WHY?

WHY THE HECK IS THE KINDLE VERSION TWICE THE PRICE OF THE PAPERBACK?!?!

Again!

Kenemore has taken down that the conceits of self help books, business books and now pop-military strategy. What will be the next genera to fall? Add it all up, and his work is almost an indictment of the whole concept of insight.

In fact, it is all but certain that this vacuity of this very review will soon be demonstrated through a string of hilarious zombie puns!

Decent

This book was decent and I liked it a lot and thought it was a good book especially when it was at the parts about times in history when human/zombies commanders did what they had tpd

Hilarious!

More funnies from the guy who wrote Zen of Zombie and Z.E.O. If you liked those, get this for sure; if you're new to the fold, there's lots to like if you haven't read any of his stuff before. The thing about Ambrose Burnsides being a zombie general was entertaining to this history nerd...

Title: Theo and Fat Terry

Author: Brian Panowich

Narrator: Josiah John Bildner

Format: Unabridged

Length: 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-18-13

Publisher: Brian Panowich

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

Superheroes and action stars aren't the only ones out there trying to make the world a better place. In Theo and Fat Terry, two low-rent good ol' boys take a road trip through East Georgia on a mission to clean up their own backyard. This story is part open letter to all pop culture junkies, part scathing satire, and part call to arms to every regular joe that has just had enough. Sometimes in order to right a few wrongs, you have to blow some s#@t up.

Members Reviews:

New Age Justice

This was a fast, but fun read. In the story you meet two boys from down south that go on what can be seen as a modern day Robin Hood adventure. The story reads pretty fast, but you laugh with these guys, agree with their purpose, cheer for them (secretly of course...), and want to keep reading. I feel like there is open room for a sequel and would definitely pick it up as soon as it came out. If you are looking for a good short story, look no further!

Strawberry Jelly

Excellent form in terms of the ending and character development in such a brief piece. It is true, this world would be a far better place without Nancy Grace. She is a total clown. Well done Brian.

Bat Girl vs. The Green Lady from Star Trek

This is a really wonderful, fun read. The diaglogue is very clever and fascinating and tells so much about the two main characters. The action is constant and relentless and there are no wasted words.

A Cracking Crime Caper!

Theo and Fat Terry was hugely entertaining. It felt like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure for grown ups. The title characters are two great creations who share a special friendship and the author conveys the importance of this in a subtle way. Whilst their ultimate aim in the stakes of righting wrongs is somewhat lame you have to admire their balls. Excellent dialogue and a fun read throughout. Panowich really made this one come to life for me.

Boy Thelma and Louise

Part Thelma and Louise part Natural Born Killers. It's a fun ride and funny at parts. The narrator of the audiobook did a great job with the variety of voices and expressions he really brought the story alive!!!!

Title: Plains Crazy

Language: English

Release date: 01-15-13

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Fiction, Humor

Publisher's Summary:

As spring bursts forth, so does a whole lot more, including murder by arrow, in quiet Benteen County, Kansas. Nothing ever happens here. Then, on a perfect spring morning, a member of the TV crew filming in the area dies with a Cheyenne arrow in his back. A prime suspect is Sheriff English's brother, Mad Dog, the county oddball, whose American Indian heritage has produced a born-again Cheyenne.

While murder is a bad way to start the day, bombs don't improve it. Notes left for authorities hint at a terrorist assault on the heartland. As if the sheriff, known as Englishman, doesn't have enough to worry about, his wife has begun acting strangely. She insists he fly off for a Paris holiday with her before sunset - or else.

As Mad Dog swings between suspect and target, he encounters not only his long-lost high-school sweetheart but also a secret that just may explain the unlikely mix of arrows and bombs.

It's Murphys Law squared, as Mad Dog and his pet wolf, Hailey, test a shaman's powers and Englishman struggles to balance his duties to family and community. It's enough to drive anyone crazy.

J. M. Hayes, born and raised in central Kansas, graduated from Wichita State University and did postgraduate work at the University of Arizona.

Critic Reviews:

"The wacky denizens of Benteen County, Kansas are back with enough action to keep readers on the edge of their seats.... This is the best madcap cozy to hit the genre since Joan Hess' Maggody series debuted more than 15 years ago." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Entertaining and satisfying

When one wants candy for the mind, you can't do much better than J. M. Hayes. No great surprises, and no disappointments either. Populated with characters who are indeed characters, doing what you expect them to do. Smooth revelation of the plot with just enough of the twists and turns to be exciting, and none that were silly or unbelievable given the characters involved.

Hokey, not believable

This book was not very believable and had too many hokey circumstances. There are better books to read if you like western murder mysteries.

Plains Crazy Is Great

What do you get when you mix Mad Dog, bombs, reality tv, crooked land dealers, and Sheriff English? A thoroughly enjoyable and very funny addition to the Mad Dog and Englishman series.

wild whimsical yet complicated conspiracy thriller

Benteen, Kansas is a quiet serene place where nothing much happens so when a PBS reality show arrives in town this is a big deal. The show deals with modern day Indians adapting to living like their ancestors did. The first inkling of trouble starts when Michael Spotted Elk leaves the family teepee to make out with Daphne Alights on the Cloud; someone kills him using a Cheyenne arrow. Daphne reports that Mad Dog and Wolf Hailey went past the; Mad Dog becomes the prime suspect until Daphne remembers he was not carrying a bow.

The sheriff's wife Judy English tells him they are going to Paris, but if he fails to come with her, she probably will not return to him. He does not believe that he can get away now because bombs and other explosives are going off all over town. A motorcycle rider tries to kill Mad Dog using a bow and arrow. Judy is mistaken for a bank robber because the teller fails to recognize her with her new hair-do.

Awful rendition. Ughhh

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Ransom of Red Chief?

I couldn't get past the first 5 minutes.

Would you be willing to try another one of the narratorss performances?

No

Any additional comments?

There were a few things that if fixed, would have made this rendition better. The background music was incredibly distracting (should have been eliminated), the constant mispronunciation of common words, and unusual pacing. The narrator would pause where there was no comma, and stumbled over every other word.
