About this listen

 This book is an experiment. We're experimenting together. You are part of the experiment, if you'll agree to it. Normally I don't let my subjects choose to be subjects. If you know you're being watched, you cease to be you. But I want you to read this. I wrote it for you. This magnetic book pulls you in its wake even as you resist its force. Sometimes you don't want to know what's next...©2018 Leo Benedictus (P)2018 Faber & Faber Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction

Critic Reviews

"A fascinating, disturbing and original thriller that erases the boundaries of the genre and draws challenging new ones." (Sophie Hannah)

Would you listen to Consent again? Why?

Yes, the performance of the narrator Matthew Baynton is a perfect match for Leo Benedictus' excellent writing

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Protagonist. His name is never revealed, but you live inside his mind as he gets progressively creepier. I loved it because thankfully this is not normal for me to think the way he thinks, or to act the way he acts.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The meeting between the protagonist and Patrick

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Too much gruesome detail! I love a thriller, but really do not need a blow by blow ( or cut by cut ) account. Leave something to the imagination. The ending, however, was totally left to the imagination. What happened?

Too much!
