SPLAT! A QUIRKY CAT AUDIO BOOK

In this purposefully bizarre original audio program, author Adele Park continues to showcase her quirky fashion of writing. Overly full of off-color humor, the program takes the listener to a peculiar community in Utah that has as its neighbor a polygamist enclave. Every chapter is told from a different character's point of view and is delivered with varying styles and skill levels by an ensemble of actors. Some of the performances of the female characters are so lacking in emotion as to sound robotic, while other narrators give such over-the-top performances that the listener is further disengaged from this crass tale. A sparse few moments throughout the program work well--but not enough to make this a worthwhile listen. A.L.S.M. 2019 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2019]
