About this listen

These hilarious tales of urban terror reveal the dark truth hidden behind three seemingly innocent words - a phrase that you have seen a hundred times before but will never view in the same light again - WANTED TO SHARE. John Birmingham's rendering of a life in share houses will leave you laughing, cringing and reminiscing about your own brushes with the mad, bad residents of flat mate hell.

I love this book, so was disappointed that parts of it were left out. I don't know why these bits were skipped over. It diminished the flow and enjoyment of the story for me.

Lacklustre rendition of a great book.

Pleasant to hear an Australian accent narrating an Australian story. If you're after a story without too much thought and a bit of humor I'd recommend it. For those considering share housing please keep in mind it's not all drugs and commune living.

Easy and Light hearted
