About this listen

Sam's trousers were 'round his ankles. The microwaved chicken - long past its sell-by date - had made a hasty exit. He was down a ditch in the middle of nowhere, and there weren't any tissues. Suzy had dumped him. Things weren't going well. He was only one wipe away from his life changing forever when he found a blue IKEA bag packed with banknotes.

Gary wants to kill him. So does Vlad. Ashton wants to paint him naked, and then there's the Contessa. Suzy isn't certain they've broken up. One thing’s for sure: Sam's life has been turned upside down.

I can't do with the reader's style.

I think the story is probably entertaining, but the reading is so stilted that I can't get past that. It sounds almost like machine reading.

Plot Juggling At It’s Best

I have now listened to 3 of Giles books. As with all three, I have enjoyed them but Tim Smith makes the book come alive with his adaptation of characters. The plot got a bit lost in the final chapters but the encore brought things nicely together again.

For audio books, it’s so important to have a narrator that brings the book to life. Giles’s excellent humorous writing coupled with Tim’s ability to bring life to the characters in the book made it an extremely enjoyable book. I laughed out loud on many occasions as the story unfolded.

Hardly Tom Sharpe

First read Tom Sharpe, I was A bookseller and had recently taken on some new titles. among which was a hardback copy withi two Tom Sharpee's titles - Wilt and Riotous Assemly. I t didn't take long for me to realise that reading in public, being very frequently overcome raucous and incapacitated laughter. Sharpe was also a very literate writer.

This book, at which this author can hardly bring more than a smile. It is indeed a farce, but nothing approaching the literature and humour whatsoever. Neither did Sharpe use so much US analogy and terminology. I read every Sharpe Novell as they were published ? This was back in 1970s and a couple later released in 90s. I would not read any more by this author.

Altogether, though it is quite a readable light. Piece of listening.
