Imagine George Carlin reading material by Redd Foxx or Richard Pryor, and you'll be close to Sean Schemmel's interpretation of Justin Halpern's father, the focus of this memoir. (Upon hearing the author’s language and humor, one is not surprised to learn that he’s a contributor to a men’s magazine.) After being dumped by his girlfriend at age 28, Justin moved back in his dad, who then became the inspiration for Justin's popular Twitter posts. Now this compilation of funny expletive-not-deleted observations made by his dad, a guy who’s short on tact AND inhibition, is available on audio—the perfect medium for them. As narrator, Schemmel evokes Justin's guilty admiration for his father’s forthrightness. J.L. 2011 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
