Customer Reviews

He is hilarious

I have actually laughed out loud at many of his books. I am not a hunter or a fisher but he just creates such wonderful, humorous, self deprecating, laughing at himself fun ride, it’s a joy. Maybe I am missing some of the reviews but wonder why no current ones. He did pass away so maybe not pushed as much but if you love humor check him out.

A Delight!

A book filled with humorous stories, this compilation of experiences was a treat to read! The Grasshopper Trap is only the second book I've read by Patrick McManus but now I want to track down all of his stories. McManus writes humor without the obscene, offensive language that seems so common everywhere these days. It's a refreshing, fun read with stories that entertain as well as remind us of a simpler, less frantic way of life.

If you don't like laughing, DON'T READ THIS BOOK!

This is just one of those books that's great when, well, anytime

Awesome! Classic McManus

This book had me laughing so hard my wife was gonna call the paramedics. Brought back memories of childhood escapades and the freedom of youth.Thanks, Pat.

Laugh-o-rama

I really like these kind of books. I had so much fun readingabout his weird shenanigans, I liked it almost as much as"Everything I Need to Know About Life I Learned in the Bush" and I liked it more than "Life is a 'Transit'-ory thing". It's really fun to read stuff like this on a rainy day, or even on a sunny day. What else can I say? I just really enjoyed this book.

Great Balls of--Grasshoppers!

This book was my introduction to the wonderful, hilarious world of Patrick McManus. He is a gifted storyteller whose style is laced with wisdom and wit. I cannot recommend Mr. McManus highly enough. READ this book, you won't regret it!
