About this listen
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of White Teeth by Zadie Smith, read by Lenny Henry, Sagar Arya, Pippa Bennett-Warner and Ray Panthaki.
Zadie Smith's White Teeth is a classic international best seller and an unforgettable portrait of London.
One of the most talked about fictional debuts ever, White Teeth is a funny, generous, big-hearted novel, adored by critics and readers alike. Dealing - among many other things - with friendship, love, war, three cultures and three families over three generations, one brown mouse, and the tricky way the past has of coming back and biting you on the ankle, it is a life-affirming, riotous must-listen.

"Funny, clever...and a rollicking good read." (Independent)
"An astonishingly assured but, funny and serious...I was delighted." (Salman Rushdie)
"The almost preposterous talent was clear from the first pages." (Julian Barnes, Guardian)

Getting through this audiobook felt like a chore
I think Zadie Smith is a great writer and inspiring individual, that being said I really didn’t enjoy this audiobook. I found the story and most of its characters quite dull and I was strained to make it through this arduous tale. Maybe it’s because I grew up and have lived in the area featured in this book and know the many people just like the characters that I found nothing fascinating in them. I also found some of the narration quite numbly delivered, although not all of it as it does have four narrators covering each quarter of the book.
I felt this story would have been best told as a comedy, yet there are very few laughs throughout the book.

Unusual but interesting
I’m left feeling unsure what to make of this book now that I’m finished. The ending was very underwhelming & at times the story was very hard to follow. In saying that though, I loved the characters and the different cultures explored in this book & found it interesting to listen to. Overall though the style wasn’t my cup of tea.

Wonderful story and incredible performances
I loved this book. It was well written with a compelling plot.
Sometimes I feel like I missed out on something by listening to the audiobook rather than reading it in my own voice, but this was absolutely not the case with this one. The readings were outstanding and a delight to listen to. I wouldn’t just recommend this book, I would recommend the audiobook specifically.

would have preferred a single narrator
It's very well produced. However, I found the different narrators used for each part annoying and slightly confusing, esp since they all do voices for the characters meaning that each character sounds different in each part. You get used to it, but it's jarring when there's a transition, especially the first time it's happened and you think you've landed in another book.

Not a fan
I could not get into this book. Wouldn’t recommend. Ending felt like the author got sick of writing so just wrapped it up.

Went no where fast
I found it to be just a ramble and disjointed. The author has one heck of an obsession with masterbation and that particular dialogue added nothing to the story. It went on so much I opted out and did not listen to the rest of it
