A poem to the North
As an exiled northerner I picked this up to listen to after watching Stuart walking with Ed Byrne (freely available on YouTube). He was fantastically engaging and I had high hopes for this book which were not disappointed. As a result of this listen I’m now searching Rightmove to move back to the North (east). Just get the book, you won’t be disappointed

Audio book perfection
This is a real gem of a book. Overall it's delightful, by turns charming, witty, laugh out loud funny, educational and thought provoking, but above all, a warm and affectionate look at the English.
The brilliant observations are at least as good as anything that the great Bill Bryson has penned.
It is greatly enhanced by being read by the author which perfectly illustrates the unique experience of audio books.
The only problem is that it doesn't go on for 50 hours.
If you love Bill Bryson, you'll love McConie.
Stuart, if you read this, please please please write another, you have a rare talent that comes along once in a generation.

The best ever
This is quite simply the best audiobook I have downloaded from Audible to date. It is witty, full of insight, informative and wonderfully read. Stuart Maconie has been a wonderful companion on a number of car journeys recently. It is this sort of book that justifies my subscription to Audible!

Loved it, learnt a lot.
As someone who knows very little about the amorphous blob known as 'the north' this is a great jumping off point. Personal, yes, but that's what I love about Stuart's broadcasting, writing and reading. But also educational and entertaining. Should be a TV series.

The pies have it
Having called the audible customer service team I heard a clip of this and was hooked. I almost asked them to put me back on hold so I could carry on listening. Maconie is an excellent narrator (not surprising given his DJ credentials) and although it may not be a laugh out loud funny as 'Cider with Roadies' (regrettably not available as an audiobook) I chuckled throughout. Stuart Maconie is Bill Bryson with whippets and this tour round the North is excellent enough for me to forgive him for not reading the unabridged version.
