I needed an audiobook and this is in the Plus catalogue so I gave it a go not really expecting much.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it and how engaged with the characters I was. There are imperfections, of course, and the editor in me was dying to cross some things out but Brogden has a talent for pacing which most don't.
At times I was surprised at where he went - which is also a difficult thing to pull off well - and other times you knew exactly what was going to happen which made it that much worse.
I'd read the book, though. The narrator here goes into this weird voice that sort of ruins the effect of Brogden's work.
