Serpentine Street


Read by Jeffrey Lynn Stoddard

(4.1 stars; 5 reviews)

Boo Boisie is a patient in the Barmy Mental Asylum. Sure, the place is air conditioned and clean and the food is occasionally actually palatable, but Boo is not a happy camper. He is being haunted by many unanswered questions . Questions like: why can he not remember the reason for his incarceration? Or why was he given a roommate, Pullet, who acts like a chicken? Or why did they feel it necessary to paint the walls of the asylum with that damned green and white paint? Under the direction of his mental health director, Dr. Pernicious, Boo begins chronicling his thoughts in a daily diary to see if the locked-away memories of his past will return to answer some of his questions. The good news is that they do begin to return. Unfortunately, that is also the bad news. Read Boo's tale through his own words as he writes of his horrifying and thoroughly unbelievable visit to his Aunt Gertrude on Serpentine Street. It isn't a pretty picture. Then again, neither is Pullet after he's laid an egg in the corner of the room.

I'm about 1/2 way in (for the second time) and discovered quickly that this is read at lightening speed! I listen while at work so I shelved this planning to come back when I could just listen! However I discovered a function on my MP3 player to slow down audiobooks ...

Sorry, but I didn't enjoy this. I listened through the first three parts, then gave up. This story seems to be weird for the sake of being weird. I'd enjoy that if the main character reacted to the weirdness in a believeable way, or if the writing blew me off ...

The body of the story is hilarious and entertaining. I could not wait to find out what happens next, in either location. The end resolution, however, was somewhat weak. It tried to explain away too much, which left totally gaping, huge, bothersome plot holes in its passing. I was very ...

Jeffrey, Well done sir. I was wondering what I had gotten myself into at first but couldnt stop listening. Funny, quirky and a lot different from most podbooks that makes this an outstanding story. I am off to grab your others. Keep up the great writing.

I randomly picked this story to listen to after reading the reviews. I enjoyed it from the start thinking what the heck is going on the whole way through. From beginning to end it was a great story. Very well read

I thought this book was hilarious! I listen to a lot of audio books at work and it was awful hard NOT to laugh out-loud esspecially while listening to chapter 13. Good Job! Hope to hear another book real soon.

This book is hilarious - so surreal! After "The Eye of the Storm" I expected something completely different from this book but I love it! Thank you, Jeffrey!

I agree with @Alex. Serpentine Street is pretty darn amusing. Quirky and bizarre would describe it well I think, but only in a good way.
