Gripping!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Last of the President's Men to be better than the print version?

The audio book is excellent, delivery is perfect. That said the story and the way it is told is key, I would expect the written book to be just as good.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Last of the President's Men?

How "odd" Nixon was a person, his quirks and the difficulty working with him. The depth and breath of explaining Butterfield, his knowlesge and motivation really adds to a better understanding of the time, place and what occured in the Watergate story.

Which character – as performed by Campbell Scott – was your favorite?

Excellent ability to flip between the narrative and deliverying a line from one of the players, particularly Nixon.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

And you thought you knew everything about Watergate!

Any additional comments?

Bob Woodward adds more to the Nixon/Watergate story more than 40 years after it occured. A great read/listen.

Excellent Magical Short Story

What did you love best about Clockwork?

Great writing, interesting tale and the narration is one of the best I've every heard. The book reminds me a lot of a Charles Dickens Christmas tale.

What does Anton Lesser bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narration is perfect! The story is interesting but the narration really brings it to life. Best fiction narrator I've ever heard.

Any additional comments?

The book would make an excellent play or movie. Reminds me of a classic Christmas tale.

If you could sum up The Second World War in three words, what would they be?

Definitive history of The Second World War.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Second World War?

Very detailed and interesting but it some of the less known facts of just how low humans can sink that is the most memorable and disturbing.

Have you listened to any of Sean Barrett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Great narration coveys the events of the Second World War with power.

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

The behaviour of troops to civilians of the countries they are fighting is touchy at times but more often than not very challenging listening.

Any additional comments?

If you are history fan, particularly of the Second World War, then this is the book for you.

If you could sum up Hubris in three words, what would they be?

What aspect of Stefan Rudnicki’s performance would you have changed?

The narrator's voice is too calm, has a great tone, but puts you to sleep.

I enjoyed the book despite the average narration.
