the fantastic life of baron von moonchausen

I bought two deluxe versions of Full Moon paperback. I have read that book about 10 times since the 80's. Dougal has a great way of telling a tale and he always makes me giggle. told with love and a hint of darkness, the life and times of the drummer of the world famous who band, will thrill and facinate.

I was"Over the Moon"about the"dear boy"& this book

What did you love best about Moon the Loon?

I assume you are asking about the book and not the lad himself. My answer is as it always is......stories stories stories. You know, insider stuff and that's what this book is all about.

What did you like best about this story?

the minor details that cause you to this you are really getting the "inside" stuff

Have you listened to any of Karl Howman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not heard anything else from this Gent. But I think he did a ball peen job.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I loved it, But yet I hated it. It made me laugh, it made me cry. It made me happy yet somehow sad.......extremely.

Any additional comments?

If your into Bio about your favorite counter-culture heros from the 60's, this book is great.
