Turned Wrong at Ding Dong

Texas, Travels and Opinions on Everything

By: Adrian Jackson

Narrated by: Michelle Babb

Nothing says Texas like a drive-thru liquor barn. If you've ever driven through one you know it's floor to ceiling liquor. It's like a museum. It's an awe inspiring collection of scotch, beer, whiskey, brown liquor, blue liquor, creamy white liquor, hard stuff, girly stuff, and mixed drinks. The bartender came to my car with a tray full of Styrofoam cups. Each had a sliver of clear tape across the straw hole. I thought, is he kidding? A piece of tape? That slight piece of tape was apparently going to save my ass from jail, should I have gotten pulled over by the police.

Great book!!!

I absolutely loved this book! I think I can relate to her columns because we are about the same age. Imagine writing a column for your local paper about any subject that comes to mind. Chapter 97 is one of my favorites, and includes: “I’m going green, not Ed Bagley green, but a small step in the right direction.” This book is a compilation of 133 columns in 3-5 minute increments.

THis audiobook covers a range of subjects/memories

An interesting collection of the authors memories and her opinions on various subjects. Each chapter is a story or memory. Some are fun, some are serious, others make you think.

The narration was exceptional as always. Michelle Babb is a great narrator and we always enjoy listening to the books she narrates.

I requested tis audiobook and am leaving this review voluntarily.

Reminisce of the Past

This book brought back a lot of memories from my past both good and bad. I listened to the author's musings about the past and some were just either outright funny or to me cruel. I enjoyed the narration of Michelle Babb she was perfect for this book. I received this book for free and this is my honest unbiased review.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It made me think back to times and events that happened during the writing. There is plenty of humor, but also

serious issues related. The author touches all sides of human lifestyles . Some of my favorite things opinionated parenting, bacon, and chocolate.

The narration was well done. The characters were excellently portrayed. Michelle Babb delivers yet again!!!!
