Narration was AWFUL

Revisado: 05-02-20

I think I would have enjoyed this book in the physical paper form, as I love the concept of Hygge. Unfortunately the narrator ruins it. His voice is mechanical, monotone, very dull to listen to. Although I believe the narrator is Danish, and has more or less perfect English, he does have a fairly heavy accent on certain words making those words hard to decifer. If you are interested in Hygge buy the actual book.

Good story, however...

Revisado: 03-02-20

The story was nice, and reasonably well written, although in my opinion, the characters lacked depth, were not sufficiently fleshed out. The narration on the whole was very good, except for Connor ("Con"), who started out as an amiable, energetic, perhaps working class London kid and progressed, as the book went on, to a super ethnic, super annoying accent - there is a marked difference from the beginning to about halfway through. Predictable and fluffy, but rather enjoyable. However would not go back for seconds.

Brilliant Book, Well Narrated

Revisado: 01-02-20

As a longtime, die-hard fan of Marian Keyes, listening to her books as opposed to reading is always a bit anxiety-inducing at first. Although others have criticized the narrator, I thought she did an excellent job, with one exception. She is very talented with accents, producing flawless London (Cockney-ish), Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Yorkshire and even German! The only place she falls down is with Daniel. The character of Daniel, whilst being gentlemanly and kind, is also meant to be cool, saavy, good looking with a good job... and she makes him sound like a bumbling, goofy, uneducated half-wit - not Daniel at all - especially if you have read the book prior to listening. However, overall a very good performance.
