He is hilarious
Published by Love McManus , 8 months ago
I have actually laughed out loud at many of his books. I am not a hunter or a fisher but he just creates such wonderful, humorous, self deprecating, laughing at himself fun ride, it’s a joy. Maybe I am missing some of the reviews but wonder why no current ones. He did pass away so maybe not pushed as much but if you love humor check him out.
A Delight!

A book filled with humorous stories, this compilation of experiences was a treat to read! The Grasshopper Trap is only the second book I've read by Patrick McManus but now I want to track down all of his stories. McManus writes humor without the obscene, offensive language that seems so common everywhere these days. It's a refreshing, fun read with stories that entertain as well as remind us of a simpler, less frantic way of life.
If you don't like laughing, DON'T READ THIS BOOK!

Laugh-o-rama

I really like these kind of books. I had so much fun readingabout his weird shenanigans, I liked it almost as much as"Everything I Need to Know About Life I Learned in the Bush" and I liked it more than "Life is a 'Transit'-ory thing". It's really fun to read stuff like this on a rainy day, or even on a sunny day. What else can I say? I just really enjoyed this book.
Great Balls of--Grasshoppers!

This book was my introduction to the wonderful, hilarious world of Patrick McManus. He is a gifted storyteller whose style is laced with wisdom and wit. I cannot recommend Mr. McManus highly enough. READ this book, you won't regret it!
