Listened to the recording by Katherine Parkinson with Bill Nighy and Peter Serafinowicz. As much as I loved Stephen Briggs in Going Postal, I felt it wouldn’t be right to listen to a version done by a man lol. (When this book isn’t so fresh in my mind though I would like to revisit it, and I will definitely be listening to Stephen Briggs then!) Parkinson was fantastic, and the score at the beginning and end was also an excellent bonus.
That was PHENOMENAL. I could have cheered when the audiobook concluded. The world building is amazing. Just like with Going Postal (maybe even more so) I was given much to think about - in this book’s case, about the nature of war, and gender roles. Also just a very funny book too :)
