I received this audiobook as a gift. And what a gift it was! I thouroughly enjoyed all of the stories, especially "Meeting Famous People" and "The Babe." These are all warm, witty stories, and Keillor's voice is wonderful to listen to. I am looking forward to hearing some of his other works.
This is G. Keillor at his best. By stepping out of the Lake Woebegon box he expands to a number of unusual side trips that are a joy.
Perhaps, and indeed probably, I am greatly spoiled by Keillor's stories. As a result, I don't like changes, such as the lack of a live audience which I think Keillor feeds off of. However, it must be said that there are stories here that only Garrison Keillor could possibly come up with and that is by no means nothing.
Don't get me wrong; I would still rather listen to this than any other storyteller alive today, but there are plenty of things in my opinion that have come out of Keillor's brain that are vastly superior. Only if you have to have everything by this brilliant mind will you want this.
Garrison Keeler has always had wonderful stories that he has told over all the many years he has told stories. This CD is a wonderful assortment of some of his stories. He is a very humorous, witty man and his stories are classic, all time favorites!!!
This, to me, is Garrison Keillor's best collection - and this is coming from someone who owns just about every Keillor collection there is. In this collection you will find stories of lake Wobegon, stories of pure fiction, stories from Keillor's own life, even a speech or two. If you like Keillor, you will love Stories.
He seems to be a bit rambling in this. Usually, his voice keeps me memorized and hanging on to his every word. This makes me want to hit fast forward to get to the point of the stories. I love him though, so I will give him a break on this one :-)
My husband loves Car Talk and Garrison Keillor and listens to them every week on radio and when they are not on radio he is playing the CDs. He has a huge collection of books and CDs and I have listened to some so many times I could repeat them word for word. Please make some new ones !
