About this listen

Following years of unrequited love, an out-of-work schoolteacher decides to take matters into his own hands to win back his ex-girlfriend, triggering a chain of events that neither he nor his psychiatrist could have anticipated. Told in seven parts, through the viewpoints of seven different characters, Seven Types of Ambiguity is an engrossing psychological thriller and a literary masterpiece.

I was excited for another thriller, but realised perhaps long form novels are not for me. By about half way I was beginning to be interested in the book, but it wasn’t particularly gripping. Once listening to it, I enjoyed the book, but I was never eager to start playing it again, and only would, because i needed something to listen to while driving.

Glad to be introduced to some of the concepts, I feel more intelligent having listened to it.

I’m sorry..I stuck this through waiting for a payoff. It never came.

Perhaps I don’t get it..but to me it was a dull listen.

The afterward explains it a little with the author revealing his political tendencies and cherry picking of faults from the other side of politics.

Well voiced, but disappointing content.

Overlong, repetitive and predictable

Loved it but found Simon's attitude to Anna unambiguously painful. Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope is dangerous, extreme and unrealistic.

Great but not without being problematic

Brilliantly researched and written, the author weaves an inticate tapestry of the lives of a group of people, each of whom are connected by a single event. Their stories are brought to life by the wonderful writing and excellent narration. This book kept me enthralled until the end.

Thoroughly captivating!

The story as a whole and the various perspectives written into the story was very interesting but felt like the author got bored at the end and wound it all up in a confusing way making me backtrack listening again to parts to
work out who was who. Dissatisfying ending.

Have patience

Unique and spellbinding
