THE BETTER PART OF THE END OF THE ROAD

Beware! Should you acquire a taste for the population of "The End of the Road," Tom Bodett's small, fictitious Alaskan town, these tapes will not be enough. This well-produced series--based on Bodett's books and also heard on NPR--should come with a warning: "Caution! May be habit forming." Complete with an original piano score by Johnny B., the tapes intro-duce us to a formidable array of eccentrics--not all lovable, but all too human. Bodett's short stories are perfect for the audio format, and his matching, low-key, folksy style is equally addictive. L.(H.)B. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN 93]
