John Ford
Retired Maine Game Warden John Ford has seen it all. He's been shot at by desperate prison escapees, been outwitted by wily trappers, and rescued scores of animals. As a tenacious and successful warden, he was always willing to spend the time needed to nab violators of the state's fish and game laws. At the same time, though, he wasn't a cold, heartless, go-by-the-book enforcer; he usually had a good quip ready when he slipped the handcuffs on a violator, and he wasn't above accepting a lesson learned as sufficient penalty for breaking the law. Ford is also a very gifted storyteller and he writes of his adventures in Suddenly, the Cider Didn't Taste So Good, a collection of true tales, both humorous and serious, from the trenches of law enforcement, and also includes heartwarming accounts of his rescue of hurt or abandoned animals.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is a perfect book for audio; it's just like listening to a great storyteller.The stories are told from the perspective of a plain-spoken, decent, likable, self deprecating, regular guy. Plus, his love for the outdoors, and concern for the wildlife he's charged to protect is endearing without being sappy. He tells stories about the fascinating and the mundane events of a long career as a Maine game warden. In some of his adventures he comes out on top, and in some, not so much, and he's happy to poke fun at himself when he deserves it. It was read well, the reader basically gets out of the way and lets the stories come through. It's not easy to do a rural Maine accent without sounding clownish or mocking, but the reader does a variety of Maine accents for different characters in the book, does them with subtlety and it sounded authentic to me, who's lived in Maine for over 15 years. The performance added to the written word.
I do a lot of solo driving, and this book made me feel like I was riding with a great storyteller every time I got in the car.
Who was your favorite character and why?
If it's not the narrator, it maybe his pilot friend. He was described with equal parts admiration and fear.Which scene was your favorite?
When the construction worker felt a need to point out the passenger in John's car TO JOHN, who would obviously have been aware of who was in his own car.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed countless times. I was pretty close to tears in one scene.Any additional comments?
My recommendation is stronger if you love Maine.Great story teller, fun stories.
