About this listen

With "echoes of Of Mice and Men" (The Bookseller, UK), The Motel Life explores the frustrations and failed dreams of two Nevada brothers - on the run after a hit-and-run accident - who, forgotten by society, and short on luck and hope, desperately cling to the edge of modern life.

Loved this that much that I bought the book and the dvd and have started following The authors musical career. Yes it's turned me into a digital stalker. The book is written in a simple style which in my opinion adds power to the story. This audio version narrated by the author really brings the book to life.

A true classic
