Nobody Eats Parsley Audiobook By David Oakley cover art the first row says - NOT A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - the remains of a dinner featuring a dirty after meal plate on which a single piece of parsley remains untouched, fork and knife

Lifelong collector of strange and weird stuff, David Oakley brings us with Nobody Eats Parsley: And Other Things I Learned from My Family an absolutely insanely hilarious collection of short stories that depict at times some almost unbelievable events.

Although he took some precautions regarding real names and some literary liberties when it comes to the narrative, all these stories are inspired by real events from his interesting life.

Probably the most extraordinary thing, besides these uncanny situations our David finds himself in is the fact that he took the time to record the audiobook version himself. This way, we as listeners are delighted by the opportunity to have an inside look into the way he has perceived his own “adventures”.

David reads Nobody Eats Parsley: And Other Things I Learned from My Family with a subtle southern accent and an energetic cadence. He manages to help the listener immerse themselves into this series of “unfortunate events”. I always appreciate when an author takes the extra time to record the audio production themselves and even more when they do a great job of it, which is the case now.

A funny exploration of the need to collect things, uncanny family situations and random life lessons, Nobody Eats Parsley: And Other Things I Learned from My Family can be the perfect opportunity for us to blow off some steam, relax and laugh out loud. If you are in the mood for a quick listen, I highly recommend Nobody Eats Parsley: And Other Things I Learned from My Family by David Oakley.

I hope to see his other book, Why Is Your Name Upside Down?, released in audiobook format as soon as possible.
