- What about Jeffrey Kafer’s performance did you like?
- Jeffrey is a treat to listen to. In this book, he made me laugh out. What did he do? He did a villain’s laugh for Gary. Yes, a laugh laugh not just telling me the words describing the laugh. It was awesome! These are the little things narrators do that catch my ears and draw me in. I wonder how many times Jeffrey had to speak the tongue twister sections, as they are perfect in the audiobook.
- Any additional comments?

I’m so excited to get back into this world. Gary is kicking it strong with his references in this book. C.T. has weighted the book heavily with these cool nods to all sorts of memories of shows, comics, and so much more. All hit home as soon as I hear them, and make me smile at the memory and joke. So many references to the shows, comics, and more are in comment, actions, and title.
Gary’s colorful look on events and life makes this book a joy to listen to. If you enjoyed Gary’s perspective on events and life, you’ll continue to enjoy this book. He really believes what he thinks, whether it’s true or not. When he’s wrong his friends point it out and he plays it off. He never thinks back to it and rolls with it. It’s a hoot.
I love the twist to good and evil and live and death interpretation on things done in this book. It’s a fun twist authors enjoy playing with, and C.T. has the ground work in place to do that with Gary and Other Gary.
Gary keeps friends and loved ones near and dear. Gary loves his wife, Mandy, so deeply. He is so caught on her, and it’s great. He’s not stalkerish, he’s just full of heart or heartbroken or… well, he always wants the best for Mandy and hopes to have his relationship back. Gary meets a very special little one. The communication and conversations with the little one is cute and fun. I love the references to cartoons.
We get a lot of family (blood and picked) time. Gary was imprisoned in a town for five years and has a lot to catch up on. We do, and learn what happened with Other Gary in their town.
Just when I think things are going to become as I expect, C.T. throws in a surprise. I just never know what’s going to happen or appear in a scene. Sure, I can guess and let my mind run wild, but then I miss something! lol.
Gary gets sidetracked so easily! lol. It’s funny how this mans brain works. We have a goal, to stop Other Gary. But we get waylaid with family and friends along the way because things are different after five years imprisoned in Undertown, living the 1950’s life style. At times I almost forgot what the end goal was with all we talked through with family/friends. This story’s focus feels to be more on family, those we create by blood and more.
