Simply superb

What a story and what a performance.
Betty Buckley was exceptional in this. From the first sentence I was spellbound.

Bravo to all involved.

The perfect book for you

Revisado: 02-22-21

Matt Haig has written a gorgeous and engrossing story that at its heart is a reflection on how we should live without regrets. It’s the perfect book to read at any age. I want to write like Matt. Since I can’t I will read all of his books. Go Matt!

Carey Mulligan’s narration is perfection.

Exceptional

Revisado: 09-04-20

I didn’t think the series could get better. Not a wasted word - everything she writes is so compelling. Ben Miles’ narration was exceptional. This book gave me an intense gaze into that period - the mindset, the politics, power plays just to stay in favour of a largely sociopathic ruler.

So much fun

I enjoyed the hell out of this. Cleverly written and performed. The cast clearly had a lot of fun and so did I!

Beautifully narrated and what a book!

Revisado: 10-30-19

An extraordinary novel that I have been meaning to read for years. Tolstoy is such an insightful writer from a character and historical perspective. I felt like I knew these characters so well and understood so much of the time it was written.
His writing is exquisite. The narration was superb.

Fantastic short play

Revisado: 05-04-19

I loved this play. Beautifully written and acted. It’s a story told via 21 (around that) phone calls.

An alternate history that felt so real

Revisado: 01-03-19

1950s history is changed by a meteor. All of a sudden the world has to think more seriously about space. Told from the perspective of a brilliant female mathematician - this is a story of maths, sexism, racism, the impact of severe anxiety and a dogged pursuit of a dream to be an astronaut.
I love that the author presented life in this time for a woman as it was. Brilliantly narrated I couldn't stop listening as the story was a cracker!

Beautifully narrated and a great read

Revisado: 01-03-19

Life and relationships are complicated. What if you made a different decision? Where would life take you? This book is all about the impact of choice and the myriad of paths. What I loved is that this isn't about how love conquers all, its about how life shapes and impacts you. Really a tremendous read/listen.

One of the best narrations

Revisado: 01-17-18

I can see why this is such a popular series of books, the storylines and characters are excellent. This recording has a full cast and wow they are excellent! I felt like I was in the room with them. The attention to detail with background noises was just brilliant. Loved it.

One of my favourite audible books

Revisado: 01-07-18

Would you listen to The Elegance of the Hedgehog again? Why?

Barbara Rosenblat is an exceptional narrator. I read the print version and loved the book, but the Audible version was excellent. There is a lot of philosophy in the book, but listening to Barbara's narration make it absolutely compelling. The book is at its heart an ode to individuality and friendship. I never cry reading books, but the last chapter had me in tears because it was just beautiful. (The movie version is to be avoided!)

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The final chapter
