This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I would advise no one to read this book.

Would you ever listen to anything by Marlon James again?

No.

Would you be willing to try another one of the narrators’s performances?

No!

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

The narrators performance's were placed in the background of a just terrible experience. Some were almost unintelligible.

Any additional comments?

Disappointment in the new Man Booker board and the publisher for publishing.

A thousand splendid suns gives insight into female oppression but is so slow it becomes background noise.

Matthew Reilly has a similarity to each of his books so far but for escapism is does the job with absolutely non stop action.

The Irresistible Inheritance of Wilberforce kept me interested throughout. The reverse sequence plot was somewhat disconcerting as you knew the end and could only listened for the way the end was reached.

I find it difficult to rate this book by Cormac McCarthy as throughout I was waiting for the development that never happened. Having said that however it was for some inexplicable reason compelling.
