THE REAL ANIMAL HOUSE The Awesomely Depraved Saga of the Fraternity that Inspired the Movie

Alpha Delta Phi of Dartmouth College is the fraternity on which the movie ANIMAL HOUSE was based. Miller's account of the organization's exploits during his sophomore year in the early 1960s delivers even more debauchery and depravity than its movie namesake. Listeners won't know whether to laugh or cry (with disgust). Initially, Todd McLaren's dry voice seems a poor match, but by the end of the first hour listeners fall into step with his cadence and style. McLaren's matter-of-fact tone makes the bizarre stories that much zanier. He even executes the musical cues within the text impressively. However, his vocal characterizations often sound more like impersonations than actual people. L.E. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 07]
