Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 50
It was 13 October 1972. Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571, carrying a team of young rugby players, their families and friends, took off for the very last time. A deadly miscalculation saw F571 crash directly into the Andean mountains to devastating consequences: the body of the plane broke violently into two, its floor torn to smithereens; seats flew out of the air taking passengers with them. In the weeks that followed, the remaining people who were on board - the society of the snow - emerged to fight a dire, gruelling battle for survival.

Most moving account
Revisado: 01-07-24
This is the 9th book I have read about the Andes Survivors. Of the first 8 books I rated ‘Alive’ by Piers Paul Read and ‘Miracle of the Andes’ by Nando Parrado (both available as audiobooks) the highest but I think that this book surpasses both of those books. It is the saddest, most moving of all the 9 books. The author interviewed all 16 of the survivors and each of them has a chapter of his own. I especially liked the chapters about Bobby Francois, Alvaro Mangino, Roy Harley and Moncho Sabella as the other books had not covered much of which came to light in their chapters.
For anyone who has not read any book about the Andes Survivors I would recommend reading/listening to ‘Alive’ first and follow it up with this book.

What did you love best about Antiques Roadshow?
I gave this five stars but I had a printed copy of the book beside me so that I could view the pictures as I listened. I m not sure it would have been anywhere near as good without access to the photos.
I love that the book covered so many wonderful items - from silverwear to clothing, from teddy bears to vintage watches, from notebooks to jewellery etc
What was one of the most memorable moments of Antiques Roadshow?
For me the most moving story was the Status Quo tapestry made by a quadriplegic fan of the band.

Flann O'Brien's most popular and surrealistic novel concerns an imaginary, hellish village police force and a local murder.
Weird, satirical, and very funny, its popularity has suddenly increased with the mention of the novel in the TV series Lost.

Delightful but odd!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
There are a couple of my friends who am sure would enjoy the quirkiness of this novel.
What other book might you compare The Third Policeman to and why?
I really can't think of a book to compare it to.
Have you listened to any of Jim Norton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the only novel I have heard Jim Norton narrate but I would like to listen to him again.
Any additional comments?
The Third Policeman is a very strange story that I thoroughly enjoyed. It was very well narrated by Jim Norton and it is a novel I can see myself listening to again and again.
