Thank you to David Rintoul for bring this work alive. It is wonderful that a narrator can make the effort to bring the Scottish vernacular to life.

Great novel, We are all in debt to.
Revisado: 03-17-22
I first read this novel ten years ago. My first reaction was to to feel cheated by The authors of 1984 and Brave New World. However, further research revealed just how ground breaking this work is. The real sadness is that so few people seem to have read the work, and it appears, listened to it. I hope that changes.
Great narration by Jonathan Keeble.

Dark side of the thirst.

What made the experience of listening to The Thirst the most enjoyable?
There are many twists and turns, as you would expect from a Jo Nesbo novel. they don't always work. In this Novel they do. There is an abundance of psychological investigation which keeps the reader stimulated, whether true or not is neither here nor there. As usual there the obligatory references to music and literature. Haruki Murakami gets a mention which is pleasing as he is also one author I most admire. Pink Floyd are given special treatment. For this alone the novel geserves five stars.
What did you like best about this story?
Everything. I listened in two sittings. It helps when a novel is basically based upon the entire work of British Rock band Pink Floyd.
What does Sean Barrett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He is one of the best readers there is available. He is Harry!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
You are going to pay me for the tag line? Someone else can do their job.
Any additional comments?
Just listen. It will be the best Crime tnovel this year. Although the recent Philip kerr addition was very good.

Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull is considered one of his most haunting and atmospheric character studies. A would-be playwright is at war with his egoistic mother while the town has become intoxicated by a sensational author. And as the alluring newcomer steals away Kosta’s only love, their new romance could have devastating consequences.
