Clifford Irving
As fast-paced and exciting as any spy novel, The Hoax involves the listener at every devilish turn. Irving describes how the hoax developed, like a Chinese puzzle, from its madcap beginning to the final startling confession, a witty and nail-biting story of international intrigue and beautiful women, of powerful corporate executives and jet-set rogues, of cover-ups and headlines.

However, that being said, it is just an amazing story that he was able to pull the wool over so many people's eyes.
I thought the beginning insufferable

His voice in the story

Also, as another reviewer mentioned, the narration is usually strong, but laughably bad - and incredibly annoying - when attempting accents. A supposedly middle-aged Asian-American woman in New York is made to sound like some teenaged valley girl, Hughes himself is made out to be some hillbilly, etc. What was the guy thinking? Just like the book itself, the material is strong - so why resort to slapstick caricature voices?
Despite all the criticism, I still think this fascinating ruse is worth your time - if you have a lot of it!

My wife thought Barrett's Hughes sounded more like LBJ. I agreed.
Wrong Howard Hughes Voice-Accent

I purchased this book and read it mainly because of an interest in Howard Hughes and the infamy surrounding the events mentioned in the book and I honestly thought I would enjoy it. But the book reads like a textbook on how to fool trusting, yet naively greedy, people into giving you massive amounts of money.
I would recommend this book, but I will not promise your going to like it.
A Good, Yet Disappointing Book

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I can't imagine anyone really enjoying this bookWhat was most disappointing about Clifford Irving’s story?
Very boring. How can a book about such an interesting subject be so poorly written?Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Joe Barrett?
Someone who can tell a story without trying to do all the voices. His female voices, with their accents, were so bad they were hard to listen to.What character would you cut from The Hoax?
Edith and Nina.Any additional comments?
Poorly written and poorly narrated. I made it about three hours in and couldn't take any more. One of the worst performances I've heard in quite awhile. This could have been ok if Irving stuck to the story of the Hughes hoax and left out all the filler about his wife and girlfriend.Big disapointment
