Can I just start by saying how upset I am? This audiobook was listed at 20 hours long, but in reality, it's a mere 10 hours long and it repeats over from the beginning. I assume it's just a glitch, but I'm just so upset! I know, I know. It's not Dave Hill's fault. (Probably?) But it is also just slightly his fault because I loved this book so much and I WAS SO READY for a full 20 hours of this book! (Sequel please?!)
My other confession: I picked up the audiobook 100% because of the title and cover. I love moose. I love Canada. Bam, give me this book right now please. Apologies to Dave Hill because I initially had no idea who he was, but 10 seconds in, I instantly knew that this was going to be a five star read from me. And I was right, because this was fantastic.
Dave Hill's love for Canada filled my Canadian heart with joy. Highly recommend the audiobook because his personality really shines through his narration, and his humour is right up my alley. I couldn't stop smiling and laughed out loud so many times. He could talk about the most mundane things (and sometimes he does, haha) and he somehow makes it the most fun story to listen to.
From trying to find out why the rest of Canada hates Toronto, to eating his way through way too much poutine across the country, to petting baby goats while all the children looked on in jealousy, to making his way through Canadian winter, I was with him and rooting for him all the way.
I was sad that he didn't make it to a lot of cities, but hey. SEQUEL PLEASE.
Still so upset this wasn't 20 hours long π₯΄π
