If you're looking for an audio travelogue from hell, check out Simon Vance's top-notch narration here. J. Marten Troost's true-to-life comic tale details one man's (and his girlfriend's) search for paradise in the South Seas. Vance provides a stiff-upper-lip tone perfectly suited to Troost's narrative and unleashes a range of accents and voices that bring to life a South Sea island packed with lunatic locals. (Don't even ask about Half-Dead Fred.) With bizarre wildlife, a beer crisis, and twenty-four-hour performances of “La Macarena,” it's hard to tell where this audio documentary ends and the “mockumentary” begins.
