This is a great short story that our family listens to annually. It captures the reality of American family life with plenty of silliness. We like the audiobook because we hear Dave articulate the words in his own voice.

There is some interesting ideas in here, however, the book ends up feeling like a gigantic advertisement for Tasktop.
