The Only Story by Julian Barnes

4.0

3.5 Superbly read (in a fine British accent), but the story itself dissolved from a promising beginning to a bit of a twist in the middle to somewhat diluted musings at the end. I liked the narrator less and less as the story progressed. Mixing the 1st, 2nd and 3rd person narration was interesting, but again, somewhat messy. Barnes' sentences and language are quite well crafted, as usual, but the story itself was a bit lacking for me. All in all, at least the audio narrative was worth listening.
