Critic reviews

"G. K. Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday is a wacky, nightmarish, deliriously well-written adventure story for grownups in which nothing is what it seems and everyone wears a mask, whether figurative or literal. It's hard to think of a more thrilling book." (Kate Christensen, Time magazine's Summer Reading List 2009)

Very twisty story, full of intrigue and suspense. Chesterton is master of descriptive storytelling, and this is brought to the fore even more so by the wonderful narration of Nigel Peever.

This tale is quite complicated and full of twists, turns and surprises. It has a very descriptive style of writing which at times is very funny and often very clever. It is well narrated by Nigel Peever whose voice brings to life these characters of the past.

Highly descriptive and well narrated

Firstly I loved the narration and also the orchestra pieces, very easy to listen to and professional. The accents of the characters bring this old book to life.
I found it hard to believe the book was written so long ago. The themes are scarily modern! I love old English language, reading it sounds lovely in my head, but actually listening to it was even better. How beautifully we used to talk!
Witty and thought provoking. Highly recommend.

A clever and witty telling
