![]() ![]() ![]() The reader had impressive ability to adopt age appropriate voices and just the trace of a South African accent for a character who originated from there, but had lived in Britain many years. In fact, it was some of the best narration I have heard. It was a joy to listen to, due to both the quality of the story and to the quality of the narration. The characters were well drawn and the story zipped along at a great pace. What did you like most about Thursdays in the Park? If I were able to leave a book unfinished I would have. Finally, the sensitive issues weren't kindly dealt with and I hated the overall message (I have never been cheated on, I'm not just saying this because I'm bitter!). We get it, we're supposed to sympathise with the adulteress, she's conflicted, can we move on with the plot now? The baby voice was nauseating, although the narration was not too bad otherwise - just not to my personal taste. The central romantic relationship sprung from nowhere, and the same points were made over and over again. ![]() It was irritated every time I listened! The characters were stupid, melodramatic, manipulative, crass or just plain unlikeable, and the plot was so unrealistic. ![]() The language used made the characters seem uneducated, while the plot clearly meant them to be otherwise. The main character is confusingly portrayed as feisty whilst acting like a doormat. I know I am disagreeing with the masses here, but I have rarely found an audiobook more grating (and my library is into the three-hundreds). ![]()
