Critic reviews
"G. K. Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday is a wacky, nightmarish, deliriously well-written adventure story for grownups in which nothing is what it seems and everyone wears a mask, whether figurative or literal. It's hard to think of a more thrilling book." (Kate Christensen, Time magazine's Summer Reading List 2009)

A clever and witty telling
Firstly I loved the narration and also the orchestra pieces, very easy to listen to and professional. The accents of the characters bring this old book to life.
I found it hard to believe the book was written so long ago. The themes are scarily modern! I love old English language, reading it sounds lovely in my head, but actually listening to it was even better. How beautifully we used to talk!
Witty and thought provoking. Highly recommend.

Good story, great narration...
Very twisty story, full of intrigue and suspense. Chesterton is master of descriptive storytelling, and this is brought to the fore even more so by the wonderful narration of Nigel Peever.
I received this copy for free, in exchange for an honest review

The man who was Thursday
An excellent book!It made more sense once it ended.I may have to re read it.I felt like I do while reading some Neil Gaiman or Pratchett books,totally lost but YES that makes sense!lol I will be pondering this one for a bit.Nigel Peever makes anything worth listening to.His narrations are excellent. I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

Highly descriptive and well narrated
This tale is quite complicated and full of twists, turns and surprises. It has a very descriptive style of writing which at times is very funny and often very clever. It is well narrated by Nigel Peever whose voice brings to life these characters of the past.
