I really enjoyed this book, so much so I couldn't stop listening to it and I finished it too soon. Cary Mulligan's narration was excellent and perfect for Norma's voice and the concept of the book was brilliant.

very thought provoking

I really enjoyed this. apart from a couple of hiccups over pronunciation (Caius college is pronounced keys fyi) I thought the narrator had good pace and suitable tone for the story. I didn't lose focus and have to rewind once, which us unusual. I enjoyed it very much.

Very interesting ideas
