I laughed just as hard at this one as I did at the first and definitely enjoyed the tweaking of the Disney factory system - Mickey Mouse Club is to the Get-Up Gang as Hilary Idaho is to Hannah Montana. Carter continues to be both lovable and a dumbass - so basically a pretty typical teenage boy. Nick Podehl continues to be awesome. I have yet to listen to something he's narrated and not love it.

Okay, seriously, did you like Carter Finally Gets It? Do you enjoy some crass guy-humor, particularly tempered with actual emotional content that guys can relate to without feeling squicky about it?

Most importantly, do you like to listen to Nick Podehl's voice?

Then pick up the audio. It's great. It's not worth talking about what Carter does or doesn't do, or the number of cringe-inducing things that come out of his mouth. He's engaging, he's loveable, and this has the best narrator of all time. The end. ( )

The second installment in the series, Carter breaks up with his girlfirend Abby and things are looking tought. That's until a movie is to be filmed in town giving him the perfect oppurtunity to make things better. Very humorous and serious at times. The book also deals with ADD.

Carter just got his big break - he'sgoing to star in a movie with Hilary Idaho! Unfortunately, he has also argued and broken up with Abby. Moviemaking turns out quite differently than he thought, and he learns a great deal about the supposed adults running the show. ( )

Another stellar performance from Nick Podehl makes for an awesomely funny listen. I can't recommend the Carter books on audio enough! ( )
