Review:
"Listening non-stop to McEwan intensifies the book's impact" (The Times)
"With exquisite sensitivity and realism, McEwan draws us into lives, not as voyeur, but as anguished participant. Authors aren't always the best choice for reading their own works - but in this case he is. If McEwan ever runs out of ideas, he could make a living reading audiobooks." (The Express)
"McEwan reads his latest creation with a deadpan rhythm that mimics the inability of his characters to overcome their inadequacies. He proves himself a master of storytelling, and the interview with him at the end of the audiobook is a wonderful insight into his work." (The Observer)
"The author's understated voice is well suited to this poignant story of British repression ... An illuminating interview with the author, in which he explains the inspiration behind his novella, is another bonus." (FT Magazine)
"The audiobook is worth mentioning ,though, for two reasons. Firstly, it is read by the author (nad all the better for that). But as an added treat, this version features a half-hour interview with Ian McEwan at the end of the fourth CD." (David Crozier H&H Series)
