À propos de cet audio

What if marriage was the law? Dare you disobey? Black Mirror meets thriller with a dash of Naomi Alderman’s The Power in this dark, high-concept novel by the bestselling author of The One.

Britain. The near-future. A right-wing government believes it has the answer to society’s ills—the Sanctity of Marriage Act, which actively encourages marriage as the norm, punishing those who choose to remain single.

But four couples are about to discover just how impossible relationships can be when the government is monitoring every aspect of our personal lives—monitoring every word, every minor disagreement…and will use every tool in its arsenal to ensure everyone will love, honor and obey.

“The king of near-future what-ifs is back with a smart and chilling page-turner. Twisty, unsettling, scarily believable and thought provoking, this is his best yet.” —Ellery Lloyd, author of The Club

“Clever, compelling and terrifyingly plausible. A near future nightmare that grips from the first page and never lets go. THE MARRIAGE ACT is a brilliant examination of relationships and the power we let others have over us. And talk about a page-turner. This one will leave you with paper cuts!” —C. J. Tudor, author of The Chalk Man

I loved it. I started off very unsure if I would continue or not but soon fell into the story. The narration was brilliant and the characters well developed.

Well done

I didn’t enjoy this as much as I enjoyed the one. I wasn’t as invested. It was ok, but I felt easily distracted with other things around me. Not sure I’ll listen to the third book in the series after barely making it through this one.

Not my favourite

Once again John Marrs and written a story that weaves its way around you. It was both disturbing and intriguing and I couldn’t get enough of it.

Brilliance and imagination

Loved it! Awesome near future dystopian concept. Disturbing and thought provoking. Told from multiple perspectives that are all very well narrated. ( I did slow it down to .9, but that's just my preference). Plot really gets rolling! While not all characters are likable, and a few are ultimately downright despicable, that's kind of the point - Marrs is looking at morality on meta/societal/governmental and micro/personal/relational levels. Don't judge a book, or a marriage, or a person, or a political party by their cover!!

Great story, mind bendy plot, very well narrated!

I really did like a lot of this book but there were so many characters it was hard to remember who was who and what their role was in the book.

Great concept

I struggled through this book. I didn’t enjoy the narrator’s voices. I found most of the characters to be stupid, irritating and predictable. The story line was interesting though.

Itritating characters

I had more hope for this book. it had a good plot.. Maybe it was the narration.
