100% Negativity (great, if that's your shtick)
Revisado: 10-28-22
Ok, it's witty in its way. But, in the end, this tome is highly depressing in its negativity towards just about everything Hyde cares to turn her jaundiced gaze upon. Nothing, no one, pleases her, nor seems to give her a jot of pleasure - apart from her own manufactured style of wit and clever-clever turns of phrase. She clearly has a high opinion of herself and judges everyone else without a morsel of the milk of human kindness. As she slams everyone and everything in article after article (their tone becoming tediously similar after about a third have been heard), a listener might wonder how does everyday life in Britain manage to stagger on without complete collapse. Does Hyde offer a single suggestion to help the patient recover from its obvious death throes? No, only bile, spite and bitterness. However, I disagree with other reviewers about the reader: Prendergast does fair justice to Hyde's hysterical outpourings. (Addendum: I suffered Hyde's miserable acidity until I reached the halfway point, hoping against hope I might hear at least one kind word about someone, no matter who. No luck! I gave up and sent the tome back under Audible's generous 'return' policy. I can feel my joyousness increasing by the minute.)

Bennett? Joyce? Never again!

A huge Trollope fan, lover of George Elliot, admirer of Henry James, and encouraged by the plaudits above ('masterful', 'superb', 'entrancing'), I thought I'd give this Edwardian novelist a try, But I was shocked, almost from the first minute, how banal, colourless and lifeless Arnold Bennett's writing is, let alone his story which starts slow and gets slower. As for 'characterisation' (apparently, Bennett's 'big thing'), his characters are as flat as pancakes. And I'm sorry to say it, Peter Joyce's dull child-like rendition augments the worst aspects of Bennett's story telling. Worst? I can't think of one good one. I returned the audiobook after less than two hours - not being able to bear listening to another minute of it.
