Bootleggers

By: Paul Rudd

Narrated by: Jordan Wolfe, Jennifer Martin, Rod Glenn, Emily Wyatt, Caitlyn Wolfe

Welcome to 1987, part of the era of VHS and arcade games. A time when teenagers on BMXs create worlds of imagination.

The Four Horsemen - Tommy, Mikey, Kurt, and Ted - need something new to spice up their gatherings because, well, boys will be boys. When a stranger approaches Mikey with bootlegged tapes in the trunk of his car, Mikey isn’t interested, but the board game the man presents might just do the trick.

The Horsemen become Bootleggers to play this life-altering game, assuming avatars with a twist to every tale and forging into the realms created by a sadistic madman known as Mr. Nobody. Everything is at risk - family, friends, and their entire town; they must play, or everyone dies.

When folk are murdered, the boys know there is only one way to end the game. It is time to change the rules and kick some ass.

Exciting & Fun Throwback to the '80's

Bootleggers bring us back to the ’80s for a story full of adventure. The tone that is set in the beginning has a bit of a humorous approach that mostly carries on throughout the story. I found it difficult to stop the story and kept wanting more. Just when you think the story is going dark, there are twists and changes that keep you engaged. This story is a very clever piece of writing and one that I am hoping will continue. I highly recommend this book!

Character and story development was well done and added to the enjoyment of the story. This is one of those unique listens that keep the listener engaged!

Unfortunately, the only downside to this book was that the sound effects were a bit overwhelming. The narration was otherwise nicely done with specific voices and reactions for each character. I enjoyed the multiple performers.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook. It was clear and well done.
