This book had me laughing out loud

For a set of stories that revolve around about driving trucks, they sure are fun to listen to. Really glad I spent the time to listen to this one to the end. You really don't need to be interested in 18 wheelers to enjoy, as the stories to be had are some fine sci-fi.

Each story was great, and the second in particular "speed trap", had me laughing like a drain. I'm just glad I was still in the car and not walking around in the shops when it caught me. The narrator's voice really did tickle me and I don't think I'd have laughed as much if I had read it myself.

I had gotten used to Graydon as the narrator at the start of the book, so when Jennifer took over for the following story, I was a little taken back because I tend to find a lot of female narrators a little harsh on my ears due to the higher pitch voice. However, I'm glad I did in this case. The narration in places used both voices and it was executed really well and really did make the story. Both narrators did a superb job with their stories.

I've already put the previous book on my wish list, 18 Wheels of Horror, for a load more trucking stories. I can't wait to listen to what else is out there.

Interesting mix of stories

I liked all but one of the stories in this anthology. Whilst they were all on a theme, they were widely varied and creative in their different approaches. The last story was a blast!

Enjoyable

I have now listened to this three times. Can’t say that for any other book. Another encore is not out of the question. Bravo
