DRASTIC PARK

Gil Beckman adds humor and humanity to this Recorded Books Inspirational title. On vacation from his job as an amusement park security guard, Gil helps solve a murder, only to be met with greater challenges when he returns home. As he works to identify who is trustworthy and who is deceitful, Gil runs the gamut from smooth opportunists to victims of downsizing and Japanese speculators. He continues his zany puns even when his own life is at stake. Narrator L.J. Ganser skillfully weaves this unusual, humorous, and most realistic story. Davis and Ganser make meeting these memorable characters a real pleasure. S.G.B. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 03]
