KING OF THE HILL

St. Louis of 1933 is a place of get-rich-quick schemes which never seem to pan out. Aaron is adrift one hot summer, full of the adventures and troubles that plague a twelve-year-old. Hotchner recreates the time; Hal Linden creates the few characterizations necessary for a first-person narrative. Linden's voice is captivating and well-suited to this audio performance. Short clips of 1930's music emphasize the bridges between vignettes. M.B.K. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: NOV 93]
