À propos de cet audio

Barry and Maureen have just been approved as tenants by the Association. Pity they never read the fine print on the lease. It could be the death of them....

As with some other Bentley Little productions there are a handful of cameos by "grossly overweight", "morbidly obese" and outright "fat" characters that do nothing for the story other than to be present for the sake of calling them out and taking pot-shots at. Yeah, I'm a little sensitive about that. No reason.

This one seems to follow a general formula used in other books I've listened to by this author. The story is slow, methodical and nicely built up, and then drags on until the reader loses consciousness.

The narrator is really good at portraying the emotions and variety of characters. My goodness though, at 125% playback speed, the reading still sounds slow. At regular speed, it is unbearable. This is easily fixed by speeding it up.

I know it's easy to nit-pick someone else's work, but there is no fix for the dreadful story. If you can only read or listen to one book this year, don't waste your time here. I've enjoyed a few by this author, but I think the novelty of his style has run its course with me.

When the going gets tough, go unbelievable.
