For Patrick McManus fans, this is American humor at its best, warm and reaffirming in its commentary on everyday life in the USA. George S. Irving lends to McManus's vignettes a lively presentation, coloring in the cartoonish quips with character voices galore and more energy than the big fish that got away. MOSQUITO BAY provides over an hour of the humorous stories that have made McManus a literary satirist whom critics have enthusiastically likened to Mark Twain. R.A.P. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
