Patrick McManus is the king of outdoor humor. His tales with crazy Eddie Muldoon and Retch Sweeney May not be sophisticated enough for you high-brow types but for us good ol' country boys they are always good for a laugh.

When my husband read this book, it was SO distracting - because he couldn't help but burst into uncontrollable laughter every other page. This, from a guy who rarely lets out a peep!
