Lawrence Dembo

A super scary view of a company that shows that most companies are psychopaths. And this is one of the worst. Damning

Revisado: 04-16-25

Amazing and sad. Som much is wrong with these big companies. Thank you to the author for having the courage to say what is right and true. Respect

Delightful novel told with an eye twinkle. I dare you not to laugh out loud when a certain traveller leaves Africa for Sweden

Revisado: 02-02-25

I loved this book. Irreverent but real. Tru and funny. Peter Kenny is one of my favourite narrators (see Clare North stories). Characters are real and delightful and caricatures at the same time. Genuinely funny and the occasional tear. Ends magnificently. The story intertwines and echoes and is told with the perfect eye twinkly. I want more stories of the Maasai medicine man.

Good

I really want to like this more. I feel like as though it is the bus of a great idea but somehow I just didn’t get the characters enough. Didn’t feel for them. Compare and contrast to the “fifteen lives of Harry August” which has similar themes but is in my opinion much more complete. It takes its time to know the characters.

Best of the Le Carre books

Revisado: 03-31-24

Realistic. Tense and more tense. Great characters. Nuanced. Geopolitics at its worst. Better than the TV series which was also super good

Great Book to Listen to before you travel to Iceland

Revisado: 12-31-23

The locations and stories in this book make any trip to Iceland that follows a much more personal and exciting experience.
When you stumble upon the mountains, landmarks and buildings that are discussed and explored in the book it’s so exciting. But the sagas themselves bring Icelands history to life. The dual narrative is great and so personal too and creates the bridge you need to go from the distant past to the present - while you do your own exploring.
In fact, my mother and I made the journey to Iceland, specifically because of this book!
Utterly amazing – would recommend.

Cracking good rollicking adventure that die at take itself too seriously.

Other than the author saying gri-mace instead of grimace, this is a cracker. Great characters - all seemingly flawed but complex It’s fun and exciting and cannot wait to read #2.

Super narration of a superb and still funny tale

Revisado: 12-05-23

It’s a superb satire and funny due to its big ideas. It isn’t dated - testament to its author. Having listened to numerous versions, this narrator stands out for his excellence. Just brilliantly told. Even the accents have just the right amount of satire.

Just keeps on getting better

Revisado: 01-01-23

I love the slow realisation of the protagonists. We the listener don’t get any more info than they do so we journey along with them with the same excitement at new discoveries and the same emotions as good / bad / sad / fair / unfair things happen. It’s a harsh real world. I need a book of something else before the final in the trilogy
