What a waste of time

Revisado: 03-05-24

First, the narrator. She used the same voice for Addie and Eve which was unfortunate and would have been better if she changed one of them. Second, the story. Really do we need another “teacher molesting a student” book? I do not think so. Third, the twist. Not a huge surprise, at that. Not enough to base a book on it. I wish I could back have the 8 hours it took to listen to this book.

Not a good idea to try to listen to this book

Revisado: 01-28-24

Half the book is written in instant message form so you end up listing to hashtags/ hashtags/hashtags which can be very annoying. Much of the language is vulgar and the attitude of many of the characters are very hostile to women. What could JK Rowling have been thinking?

Not William Boyd best

I was hoping for a book as good as Any Human Heart or Love is blind. Although similar, it just wasn’t as god.

I wish I could get the 34 hours back

I have read or listened to previous C Strike books and was expecting much of the same. Many other reviewers liked this book a lot, but I did not. It was way too long. The story of Charlotte and Strike added nothing and made Strike appear brutish. I also thought his treatment of his subcontractors made him appear as a bully. I would not recommend this audiobook to anyone.

Fabulous narration of a fascinating time

It is worth listening to Zadie Smith reading this book just to hear her many voices and musical ability. I liked the story as I knew nothing of the main charcuterie except for Charles Dickens. Definitely a 4 star review.

Disappointing

Revisado: 06-28-23

I listened to the book because I had read other Tana French books and was expecting to enjoy it too. In fact, I found the main character to be a bully and I did not like the portrayal of this Irish family. I would not recommend it.

I enjoyed Lis to this book and as the story progressed, I found it more interesting.

Too tedious

Morton had a good idea for a story (although it has been done before, think of Mad Men) but it was told in such a meandering way that I could hardly continue to listen to it. Would not recommend it .

Brilliant

This was an excellent study of modern art. Telling the story of Picasso and other cubist painters it reveals how American was first introduced to their art. First class production.

The narrator was perfect

Revisado: 11-06-22

Just finished listening to this very entertaining book by Richard Osman. As I had read the previous ones, I did not understand why many people were disappointed with a new narrator. I found Fiona Shawn’s reading to be perfectly fine. I thought she did a great job with the male voices,
