TOUGH ISLAND True Stories from Matinicus, Maine

If you've ever wondered what it would be like to live and work on a remote island, this listen, originally published in print in 2011, is for you. And if you don't mind a liberal amount of danger, drinking, and drug use in an audiobook, you'll enjoy hearing about Barry's experiences while living and working on Maine's most remote inhabited island, Matinicus--22 miles out to sea. He mixes in amusing imitations of island characters and amusing sound effects--from the expected foghorns and ocean waves to the less expected but still entertaining coughing, breaking of bottles, fisticuffs, and more. Barry has what can only be described as a true Mainer's voice, and the obvious fun he has narrating this true tale of life on a tough island comes through.
