A review by colinlusk
Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis

4.0

Holiday audiobook. I spent a whole day with this in one ear and birdsong on the other while i pedalled through the city, along towpaths, through the countryside to Cambridge and it was very good company. The character of Zorba is very vivid, and the author contrasts his immediate, practical way of walking through the world with narrator's own more bookish knowledge. It's a very effective device. Its not all dialogue of course. There's a lot of stuff going on, including shagging every widow in Crete and a really grizzly murder.
