Reviews
Fantastical, Surreal, and Fun!
TwinkieToes
Written on the eve of Prohibition, this crazy, over-the-top story imagines what life will be like in a couple years, when the "anti-everything" people have power. First, it's alcohol. Then, it's... Well, listen to the story and find out! Listen carefully for all the puns and alcoholic references sprinkled throughout. Well read by Daryl Wor (a female).
Ms.Wor's reading pitch perfect

She's got the proper sarcasm she can drip at will. I'm envious but cannot deny her talent! Thanks for your hard work! I love LibriVox!!

2019 this is still relevant. Liberal leaning political views wanting to eliminate and regulate!
