Amazing vignettes about people who never were

This is a collection of stories about the people Tom Bodett met in Homer, AK, reimagined as The End Of the Road, AK. The characters are composites, fine, and the stories ae no doubt apocryphal; but you'll laugh and cry and wince and mourn and rejoice as these fine folk live this thing we call life.

More of the Best from Bodet

What can you say about this guy. He is entertaining and fun and thats what you need on a long drive. This wont disappoint if you like this guy.

One of Bodett's best!!

Tom Bodett is a master storyteller. His character development is deep and thoughtful. While humor is the "bread and butter", he is at his very best when telling a poigiant tale. These often bring a tear to the eye. One feels especially close to his characters, all of whom ended up at "the End of the Road" in Alaska. His wonderful voice and the complementary piano music of Johnny B. make his End of the Road series of audiobooks classics. I have literally worn my cassette tapes out and have to buy new ones! I can hardly imagine anyone not thoroughly enjoying Bodett's work! Ben G.
