What made the experience of listening to Abide with Me the most enjoyable?

I read the book in print and its so specific to it's time and setting I kept hearing the words in the accent already, though through my American filter. Now I could hear the world of this fascinating book told as it was meant. It really enhanced the experience of an already superb book.

What did you like best about this story?

It's poignant, gritty, unexpectedly emotional at times. It's a coming of age tale, a crime story, a snapshot of London at a specific point in time. It all comes together in a fully realized world that transported me the way great books are meant to.

Have you listened to any of Karl Jenkinson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I had not. He nailed the tone and attitude of this book perfectly.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It would probably do well in one sitting. I gave it 3-4 days, but it's a compact story you could knock out in one afternoon or long car ride.

Any additional comments?

A great book made even better by a stellar read.
