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.

This is a fantastic book performed brilliantly by all the narrators. The character are interesting. Funny, thought provoking, emotional and sad.

Wow best book I have listen to in ages.

loved the story but the narrators for the same characters change throughout the book reading which was perplexing. sometimes, even the tone of the character changes almost as if the same reader continued reading in a different studio with a different sound deck set up. bur all readers were great. just inconsistent

uneven narrative

Struggled with this. Well written and is obviously a 'good' story' but such a dull narrative. I found listening to it an effort. Unfortunately also that the final reader didn't use different voices for the actors.

Epic but dull story

Great book, great production. The breadth of the story was huge and so many stands were teased out, then bought back together across a diverse set of lives.

great book

I disagree with some of the reviews about the third narrator. I think that he was brilliant and he got the most difficult part of the book.

Very good
