In Table Manners, the action occurs in the dining room of Mother’s house, where a conventional middle-class family is attempting to have a pleasant country weekend. But they are no match for Norman, the bane of the family, who horrifies everyone by doing exactly as he likes.

Nothing other than the headline. Boring play. Stellar cast. Definitely won't be listening to the rest of the series.
Such a disappointment!

Historia4 out of 5 stars 48
From international bestselling author Dick Francis and his son Felix comes a gripping new racing thriller. Captain Thomas Forsyth’s tour of Afghanistan is cut brutally short when he’s badly wounded by a roadside bomb. Tom’s world is torn apart by the injury - the Army is his life. Six months of recuperation leave is a daunting prospect - but not as bleak as the probability of never rejoining his regiment. Tom returns to Lambourn, to his childhood home, where his mother is a racehorse trainer and the ‘First Lady’ of racing.

Martin Jarvis = 10 stars, story = 1
Revisado: 05-11-15
The usually hugely enjoyable D Francis fails in this yawner of a novel. All I'm going to add (which anyone who listens should appreciate) is that if the hero used, or said he was going to use, or said he *had* used, his "Voice of Command" one more time, I'd have locked him in the damn stable myself. Oops, spoiler alert. I think he used it 10 times in the last chapter alone, and fat lot of good it did him.
Martin Jarvis, as always, is a pleasure to listen to, even in this snoozefest.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 232
The book is an autobiographical account of five years in the childhood of naturalist Gerald Durrell. The book is divided into three sections, marking the three villas in which the family lived on the island. Apart from Gerald (the youngest) and Larry, the family comprised their widowed mother, the gun-mad Leslie, and diet-obsessed sister Margo together with Roger the dog.

Love it, but please mark as Abridged!

Why would you abridge this!?
Revisado: 01-23-15
If you could sum up My Family and Other Animals in three words, what would they be?
Hilarious, warm, evocative
How could the performance have been better?
The accents were a bit questionable (the Greek ones, that is)
Any additional comments?
The whole problem with this audiobook is that it's ABRIDGED! It's hugely shortened and some of the most memorable and hilarious anecdotes have been left out - not to mention many of Gerald Durrell's beautiful, enchanting word-paintings of Corfu, his family, and his adventures. I am bitterly disappointed by this and find the whole book has lost a tremendous amount of impact because stories and moments which served as ties and punchlines throughout the book have been left out. It's a real shame.
