beyond bloody fantastic
Would you listen to Rise and Fall again? Why?

Who was your favorite character and why?
Jamie was the Story what he became and what he had achieved

Tyler at the park finding his voice

What did you like most about Rise and Fall?
After reading this book a few years ago and loving it. I was thrilled when I got the chance to listen to it on Audio.
Not being sure what to expect, I took my phone and headphones, on a walk, then took it to work, then It ended up going everywhere with me.
It was funny as although I had read the book, with it being a few years ago, I had forgotten a lot of what happened, and found listening to this, interesting and exciting.
Many kindle books have the text to speach enabled, and if you have ever listened to it, you will know it sounds very robotic and hard to follow.
This is not the case witht he audio version, it was like having someone with a great soothing voice follow me around reading to me. Great for when you want to read, but haven't got the chance to sit down. I'm now listening to this for the 2nd time while i get stuck into my housework.
Which character – as performed by Anna Parker-Naples – was your favourite?
Anna did a fantastic job with all the Characters. her reading helped make it all believable.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
You could easily listen to this in one sitting. Time allowing.
Any additional comments?
The audio book is brilliant and I would love to listen to more books in future.

story was really good but kept getting lost each time the narrator attempted a Jamaican accent, it was just awful would have been better off not doing an accent at all... really let the story down as each time she did it all I could think was how bad it sounded and drifted from t
