ACCIDENTALLY WES ANDERSON: ADVENTURES

This delightful travel audiobook features commentary and an accompanying pdf of photos of unique, quirky, and splendid sites around the world that emulate renowned film director Wes Anderson's visual style. Seamus McMahon is a capable narrator, and Jeff Goldblum brings all his acting chops to his performance. With his well-tuned variations in tone and pace, Goldblum's sections, in particular, are irresistible. The sites are interesting, as well: Vermont features an opera house that spans Canada and the US, and "Oxbridge" (Oxford and Cambridge, in England) illuminates such academic eccentricities as rules that state who may walk on the lawns. The North Pole and the Antarctic get star billing, too. Travelers, architecture buffs, and the simply curious will find much to listen to and look at here.
