Night Manager by John Le Carre
Listening to Night Manager by John Le Carre was as good as it was short. To be honest, the reason I picked it up off of the shelf was that the audio was narrated by the author. Let me tell you: if the author liked the book he wrote and is any good at the voices of characters, you will enjoy the book twice as much as if it were narrated otherwise. Only an author can capture the mind’s ear representing a character. Only an author knows (for sure) the inflections of written exchanges. Only this author has an interesting Brit twang to the reading. (not really the only one, I guess)
The book itself fits my interest; it is a spy novel with a touch of love. The English (instead of American English) writing is refreshing. The sayings are refreshing. Fish and chips is only the start.
Grab this audio book for a nice, 4-cassette diversion.
