Title: EXPLODED
Review: This tape was a definite change from Bodett's wonderful storytelling about the folks at the End of the Road. It is insightful, a bit nostalgic and autobiographical. The entire cassette devoted to the Exploded story is quite deftly presented "live" to an audience who randomly choose which of the twelve or so segments he reads next. Bodett is a master of writing stand-alone stories that fit perfectly into a sequence. I must say that Exploded made me howl and also brought me to tears--I consider this to be a strong endorsement!Tom Bodett has so obviously LIVED his life that it is a real treat when he shares his defining moments,his friends, his heart-felt eperiences with the rest of us. I only regret that there are so many people who would get so much joy from his work but who only know him as "that Motel 6 guy" Believe me he is much, much more!
