I had this book and audiobook as a child and happily listen to or read it again now. The story is well-crafted and moving, and the narration by Malahide is one of the best I've heard. The abridgement is also well-handled and maintains the crux of the story whilst cutting the length to a digestible amount. Music interludes throughout to break up the story into sections are a welcome edition. I'd recommend this story to young teens specifically and anyone who is looking for genuine poignancy in their audiobook.

Highly recommend

Have been fan of film for many years. Played it so many times. The Audible story doesn’t disappoint and is well worth the investment. Patrick Malahide has an excellent voice and I recommend wholeheartedly.

Enjoyable listen time after time.

Enthralling tale eclipsed only by the riveting TV drama with the late John Thaw
After Thaw Patrick Malahide’s accents leave much to be desired
Great book,even greater TV drama

Great story
