Summary
This is not a love story. Unconditional is a story about love. When Chris and his father Phil decide to spend a long weekend break in Bilbao, their relationship is stretched to the limit. All because of a woman. Chris learns the hard way how actions have consequences. Phil also learns that it takes unexpected blows to put love to the test.
"Believe me son, I do love you," Phil said to Chris once, "that’s why you still breathe."
Killing your offspring - as justified as it may sometimes seem - is simply not an option.

Ant Richards smashed it once again!!
I simply loved it. I read the book and listened to the audible version. It is written and narrated in Ant's own original style with a very moving and unexpected twist. You wouldn't want to miss it.

Fathers and Sons
This short story by Ant Richards and read by the author himself has been my companion whilst travelling this week. It’s a story about the relationship between parent and child and as well as young love when you fall in love for the first time. Having elderly parents you reminisce about what your relationship could’ve been and what it actually was like. This book build on that portion of any life.
Ant’s dulcet tones narrate this story perfectly and I would actually go as far as his voice reminds me of David Bedella or Tim Curry. Would I recommend? Certainly as it’s a very enjoyable book.

Bilboa
A tale of youth vs parent. A story well spun, full of all the horrors that as a parent I fully appreciate. The story is well presented, I felt transported to the city, the heat and the exhilaration of new experiences. Would I recommend it, yes I will. I hope that the you will enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you Mr Richards

Nota love story. This is a story about love
A beautifully well-written story, that resonates strongly. As a daughter and [now] mother, it's not hard to relate to the plot.
The narrative makes it so easy to hate & love Chris in equal measure; his petulant teenage antics blends humourously with his naivety. Swelled-up eyes competed with hysterical fits of laughter throughout the story.
The narrators did a lovely job too. The male convincingly manages to convey so many different emotions from Chris, Phil & Michael making it credible to listen to. The females did a nice job too, although their dialogues were fewer.
I really recommend this story.

A funny and poignant coming of age story
I really enjoyed this audiobook by Ant Richards. The production values and voices were all very professional and really helped to draw you into what is a lovely and unexpectedly emotional story. I especially enjoyed the characters of the dad and the bar owner, Michael.
I’d definitely recommend it. Just remember to keep a box of tissues close by.

You never know what you've got until it's gone
As a man in my mid 20s, I very much related to this story...for all the wrong reasons! I felt at times I was listening to my own life as a snotty, hormonal, smartass teenager.
Unconditional is a beautiful story, well written, and in this case, well delivered by the narrators - having both male (narrator and male characters) as well as female narrators(female charaters, of course) adds that credible aspect to this audiobook.
Besides the dialogues, I really enjoyed the way Richards describes not only the situations, but also the locations this story takes place; I almost felt I was walking alongside the characters through the streets of Bilbao, as Chris stumbles from one problem into another. The end is a masteful twist I did not expect.
This is the 2nd audiobook read by AR that i've listened to, and I am becoming a bit of a fan of this author. I look forward to listening (and reading) more of Ant Richards' work. Pinero and Olarte also do a very stellar job in this audiobook.

Sobering
A lovely, heartening story about coming of age. I read the kindle version when it came out a few months ago, and loved it. Richards' narration delivered all the different nuances of the male characters almost to perfection - he did write it after all.
Like the written version, he also managed to draw a few tears from me. The female narrators also delivered well.
A must listen for both parents and kids (especially sons).

A Father’s Love for his Son = Unconditional Love
“Unconditional” is a story about love. More specifically, it’s about a father’s love for his son.
This charming take focuses on Chris, an angry teenager with a big heart, and his father, Phil. Chris’ journey as a young man takes place in Bilbao, Spain, where he discovers romance, heartbreak, and how much his “old geezer” truly loves him.
“Unconditional” reminds us that, no matter what, our parents will always be there for us. Whether we discover our first love or our first heartbreak, they are there to pick up the pieces and put them back together. They are there for us when we rise and when we fall.
A father’s love for his son is just simply UNCONDITIONAL!

Another Win for Richards!
I absolutely love Ant Richards' writing. This one was more sentimental than the last, but definitely packs the emotional punch without being cheesy or too sad. I really found the characters to be relatable and I cared about them. Stories like these are always brought to life better with the music and with just a couple of voices to bring the vivid images to light. I really feel like I'm listening to a fully produced audio drama with these ones. I will continue to listen to Ant's productions as long as he works!

Made me cry! Great story!
I love the concept of this story! We all have those people in our lives that we would do anything for, and Ant’s book encapsulates those relationships. Definitely sharing this with the world!

A Wry & Heartwarming Coming of Age Tale
I think this little shorty is Ant Richard's best work yet! It's a wryly narrated coming of age tale through the eyes of Chris, a seventeen year old boy on the cusp of manhood, on holiday with his dad in Bilbao, Spain. I found it honest, accurate, and highly amusing! Chris, like most teenagers, is full of cheek & moodiness, and his [mis]adventures stumbling through his first solo night with some girls in Bilbao is full of blunder and learning experiences. By the end young Chris actually learns a thing or two about how to behave as a human being--and the twist even made me cry a little! Well done all around. ::standing ovation::
The actors did an excellent job bringing this tale to life! Richards, the author himself, has a voice made for narration, and Piñero and Olarte did such a great job as well!

Brilliantly Done
Written by Ant Richards and narrated by Ant Richards, along with the talented voices of Laura Piñero and Carmen Olarte. Because he knows the story and the general vibe, it's always a treat to see how the author conveys the story in his own voice. In this story, we follow the life of a teenaged Chris, holidaying in Spain with his father. It's a sort of coming of age, rites of passage, and the unconditional love between father and son, or rather, the realisation of what it means to have that sort of love and connection. Brilliantly read, with an easy background ambient noise that only lends to the overall feel of the story. Mr. Richards has an incredible reading voice, perfect for narrations. I look forward to hearing more stories read by him.
