Narrator is superb, story doesn’t match the film

Narrator brings ‘Roy’ alive. Film is better than the book. Still worth listening to, but the ending felt a little flat compared to the movie

not so good

a protracted story which could have been shorter and more consise...a lot of ramberling which was never explained or used again in the story line...I felt as if the writer was asked to pad it out. not so sure if I had been reading it I would have ever bothered to finish it !

Excellent tale with many twists

Well written. Kept me listening in anticipation of what would happen next. I liked how it moved from the past to the present as the story unfolded.
