Loved it

Revisado: 12-29-21

Jonathan Cecil is wonderful. His Bertie is charming. I root for him every minute. His Jeeves is also on point. Most of the time, I forget one man does both voices.
Funny storyline. I loved the Bertie and Roddy budding bromance at the end.

Insanely good

First - the narrator. Samuel West is amazing. I love his voice, I love his ability to differentiate characters. He is amazing. He's the reason I signed up for Audible again and immediately bought the books in this trilogy. I might use my credits to get the Inspector Morse books he narrated.

Second - the book. This is the best book of the series. Especially with the revised ending.

I had seen the British mini series ages ago and the first part was the most impressive. I knew the plot well, I had read up on the differences, but I still loved it. This book is clearly the best of the three. I'm glad the author changed the original ending. I'm now on book 3 and not having a lot of fun. The end of book 2 was incredibly annoying. I hardly remembered any details of the book from the mini-series. And I definitely didn't remember such a downbeat (yes, FU is a villain but damn I rooted for him) ending.

Third - the MC. Or, I should say, the FU.
Samuel West does an amazing job of channeling Sir Ian Richardson. Maybe it's the material he has to work with, but his Francis Urquart is a little more vile, a little less slimy than my memory of the character from the TV series.

I would LOVE to see West himself play Francis Urquart!

This is a character worthy of a reboot (the source material is painfully fresh and sadly, all too easily updatable) and I think Samuel West would do a great job. I'd love to see some flashbacks of his father (expanded from what's in the book) and have Timothy West in the film. I'm daydreaming now.

Audio books are my walking friends. Usually, I can put down an audio book once I get home. This book, I could not put down.

So annoying!

It took a looooooooong and boring time to get to her outlining system. So much repetition in the first chapters, she repeated the same things, yes, she said the same thing in different ways many, many times. I want this book to be of some value to me, I really do. My outlining system doesn't work well and pantsing doesn't work at all when I get blocked. I didn't mind that Hawker says, maybe to be funny, that plotting is better than pantsing. That's just one of the early examples of things that annoyed me. I go through non-fiction books with no issues, but this time, it's the way the book is written that makes it difficult for me to keep listening. I get annoyed to her "witty" comments every few minutes.

I heard other books narrated by Agin, but his pronunciation of "Lolita" was distracting, and not in a good way.

Halfway through now. I'm gritting my teeth to go through it because it seems to be useful. If I find it useful, I'll come back to give it more stars. As things go, it might be one of the rare cases of DNF books.

Loved it. Easy to listen and to follow. The book has a strong inner consistency, the advice is logical and practical. It helped me figure out how to make my stories work in ways I hadn't considered before.
