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)

An intricate and gaslit duel of the mind

Instead, a few words about the production. When I first heard Peever’s voice in a short excerpt, I thought it far too stuffy to carry this most comical and grace of books. But after listening to his entire performance, I find no fault. In fact, his seems the perfect voice for The Man Who Was Thursday. I am less enchanted with the occasional music, but my only real complaint is that it swallows the last word of the book in its fanfare. A worthy production of an incredible work.
There are few books as audacious and ravishing

I recently wanted to revisit some of the philosophical observations here, so I tried this audiobook, and the narration is among the very best I’ve ever heard. Nigel Peever illuminates the story beautifully—his voices are easy to track, excitement rings through his voice when warranted, and his delivery clearly conveys the subtleties of the occasional situation that may not immediately apparent (to an American, anyway).
I imagine this story will always have its detractors, because there is a grand metaphysical theme running through it, but this performance (and the overall production, as well) is such a smash, it’s worth a listen under any circumstance. I’m looking forward to listening to it again
