Critiques

An Exploration of Human Nature


(5 stars)

Beautifully read by Simon Evers, this is an exceptional short novel that explores the motivations and the pitfalls of the unsaid versus the heartfelt emotions that drive the conduct of the characters in this story. Well worth the time to hear.


(3 stars)

A schmaltzy soap opera featuring largely unlikable, deeply hypocritical characters, with not one but *two* "Of all the gin joints in all the world..." moments. The only thing that raises it above cheap melodrama is the reader, who is the best reader on Librivox.

always a great listen from author and reader
