Well written, but rather strange story of a swamp-living family and a search for resolution after grief. Kind of blunt and somewhat off-putting in a poetic way.
Could be a little shorter too. It took me a while to read.

This is a great road-trip audiobook! Silly enough to make you laugh and wild enough to keep your attention 😊

Book 173🎧 4⭐️

Another hilarious story by Dave Barry. Filled with gold, gun and a Mellon Monster!😂

Finally getting my kids back to the library after paying an astounding $140 in library fees from 2021 😬

5feet.of.fury Yikes, I‘m sure you‘ll get $140 of entertainment back, but holy moly. I thought Swamp Story was really fun! 1y
Krdugan @5feet.of.fury if I‘m being honest, I am INCREDIBLY embarrassed… so far it‘s pretty good. Very similar vibes to Carl Hiaasen‘s writing! 1y

Hilarious.
An action packed story about The Everglades Melon Monster, reality TV, social media, lost treasure, Rednecks, the Russian Mob, bad relationships, the decline of journalism & more.

A few of the side plots weren‘t as fleshed out, but it was very amusing.

ShyBookOwl Omg, sounds so fun! 1y

At the beginning of this book there is a scene where one of the characters is asked to hold a piñata while the birthday girl wildly swings a golf club. It goes how you‘d expect.

I actually saw almost this same thing happen but thankfully it was not a golf club ?

DGRachel I laughed my behind off reading this book. Enjoy!! 1y
5feet.of.fury @DGRachel I‘m at the half way point, between all the conniving ding dongs, Everglades Mellon Monster & Glades Guy I‘ve been cracking up 😂 I love Jesse. 1y

Swap Story is the embodiment of Mulder‘s famous poster from the X-Files: I WANT to believe. If you are looking for a light summer read that will make you laugh, Swamp Story is a solid choice. It‘s also a perfect suggestion for people who are occasional readers who just want something to entertain them on vacation.
