Critic reviews

"Bill Wallis is perfect as the dry-witted and clever Rumpole... The brilliance of this audio is in the voices Wallis uses to portray each individual, displaying a wide range of dialects and accents so seamless and so suited to each that the listener will forget that only one person is doing the narration. Rumpole's asides, internal meanderings, and quotations of poetry and other commentary are conveyed with the humor they deserve in this thoroughly enjoyable collection." (AudioFile)

Most relevant

Every character has an authentic and consistent voice - male, female, from anywhere in the UK and beyond, and from all social backgrounds - Bill Wallis makes them all real. The books are more solid than the TV scripts from which they developed, funnier, more nuanced, and not subject to our horror at revisiting the unfortunate fashions/hairstyles/interior decor of 1978-1992! Ideas last longer. My only real gripe - chapters often don't correspond to stories, making it harder to find the point at which one fell asleep, listening in bed.
