I listened to it twice. Highly entertaining and educational.

Revisado: 06-13-23

This is an interesting story set in the time of The Troubles in Belfast in the 1970s. The author cleverly uses a love story and a primary school as a backdrop to paint the difficult issues faced by Catholics and Protestants at the time. I loved the characters and the narrator brought the story to life. Some of the themes covered are complex and I decided to listen to the story again so that I could pick up the nuances. This is an excellent book, and I have already recommended it to others.

Excellent production

Revisado: 12-19-22

This is an audible treat. The narrators bring the characters to life. Oliver Twist is adorable and your heart goes out to him. Excellent performances all over round.

Great story, annoying narration

Revisado: 10-06-22

This is a good story. I think the more we read mystery novels, the characters become predictable and one starts to keep notes of who the possible villain could be. I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. Well done to the author. I did not enjoy the audible experience however. I think it could have been better if fewer narrators were used.

Kept me guessing

Revisado: 09-07-22

There were many times that I was questioning what was reality.
It’s an interesting and riveting read and gives insight into what happens when state institutions are under resourced.

The value of novelists in helping us understand history

Revisado: 08-04-22

What an amazing book! It’s gives one layers and layers of understanding experiences of people during the World War II.
You see it from the perspective of parents, children, soldiers, survivors, those who support the war effort, those who are anti the war.
It’s a really valuable experience to read this especially now when we see the events taking place in Ukraine.
I loved every moment.

A treat to listen to Benedict Cumberbatch

Revisado: 05-21-22

I loved this reading of Metamorphosis. Benedict Cumberbatch brought so much to the experience with his flawless and expressive reading. He brought the characters to life. The story is such a sad one which exposes themes of alienation, and questions the purpose of life. Highly recommended

Light Crime Storyline with Endearing characters

Revisado: 01-02-22

What an awesome book! I took a chance as this is not an author I have read before and have not regretted the purchase. I could not stop listening to this and am now bereft that it’s over.😀
The characters are endearing and and the narrator brought them to life. Excellent and absorbing storyline. I will certainly be looking out for other novels by this author. This is highly recommended and I will be buying hard copies of this to hand out to friends.

Thrilling, Crime Drama, Narrated Superbly

Revisado: 12-02-21

What a thrilling read! I thoroughly enjoyed it made all the more enjoyable by excellent narration. The Night Thief at some points became so believable and authentic, that I had to postpone my listening of the audiobook to daylight hours. 😀

A story in telephone calls

Revisado: 11-22-21

I loved this short story. So cleverly done via telephone calls. And the emotions were captured so well by the narrators.

What a beautiful story of the Human Spirit!

Revisado: 09-19-21

I really struggled to get this book, but am so grateful that I persevere. Initially the stories appeared unrelated and I had to often go back to listen to a previous chapter. But once I got into it, I thoroughly enjoyed it. And when the seemingly unrelated incidents, start to merge and make sense, I found myself smiling in amazement. Well done to the author! A beautiful story about the human spirit and about the value of community and how neighbourhoods and neighbours support each other. I loved this book.
