Fantastically interesting and funny

Revisado: 12-24-21

The first 18 chapters are hard to stop listening to at night when you should be sleeping. Chapter 17 is hard to keep listening to if you have even the slightest scrap of human empathy and absolutely if you have a small baby.

The second half is perhaps not quite as snappy but Mark's performance is consistent throughout. Still very worthwhile. Some of the funniest single lines are in the back half.

The conclusion is satisfying and genuine despite the obstacles the world put in Mark's way. I slightly wish that his son Elliot had read his small part but that's a tiny detail that in no way takes from the experience.

Great narrator but hideously abridged.

What about Humphrey Bower’s performance did you like?

Humphrey Bower is the best Australian reader I've heard. Period.

Any additional comments?

Tandia, although darker, is a worthy follow up to The Power of One, telling the story of life in apartheid South Africa from the other perspective and following on with Peekay's story.

Sadly, despite what Audible have been told by the publisher, this audiobook is definitely abridged. I've read the hard copy before and was surprised when both minor and pivotal scenes were cut. Further more, a number of plot points that are edited out are constantly referred back to later in the story – enough to cause confusion in a listener who lacked prior knowledge of the story.

A very lazy job of editing a very well performed audiobook.
