Sweet Spot

Kathleen McInerney narrates Ettinger's chronicle of her cross-country quest to explore as many different varieties of ice cream as possible, including gelato, custard, and frozen yogurt. McInerney is a great choice to recount the author's lifelong love affair with the delectable frozen treat. She clearly and expressively covers the varied topics such as the author's childhood memories of ice cream, the history of the treat, the process of making it, developments in new flavors, and the fierce competition in the business of production and distribution. McInerney's feminine, expressive voice conveys Ettinger's enthusiasm for her subject while also providing convincing renderings of the quirky characters she meets on her journey.
