Edward St Aubyn
Winner of the Betty Trask Award, Never Mind is the first in Edward St Aubyn's highly acclaimed Patrick Melrose novels, adapted for TV for Sky Atlantic and starring Benedict Cumberbatch. This audiobook is read aloud by stage and screen actor Alex Jennings.
At his mother’s family house in the south of France, Patrick Melrose has the run of a magical garden. Bravely imaginative and self-sufficient, five-year-old Patrick encounters the volatile lives of adults with care. His father, David, rules with considered cruelty, and Eleanor, his mother, has retreated into drink. They are expecting guests for dinner. But this afternoon is unlike the chain of summer days before, and the shocking events that precede the guests’ arrival tear Patrick's world in two.

Eleştirmen yorumları
Would you try another book written by Edward St Aubyn or narrated by Alex Jennings?
I would never, ever read another book by Edward St Aubyn. The upper class, shallow, valueless world he depicts is unattractive and soulless. The plot of this book is skimpy. The only redeeming aspect of this audiobook was the fantastic narration of Alex Jennings who managed to portray all the characters with individuality and flare. I loved his voice and will certainly read another book narrated by him.Has Never Mind put you off other books in this genre?
I have no desire to read the following books in the series.Which character – as performed by Alex Jennings – was your favourite?
PatrickWas Never Mind worth the listening time?
I am not sure. I did finish it because I hoped for a cathartic, happy resolution to the hellhole inhabited by the characters.Any additional comments?
If you want to be brought down and to see how the "other half' lives this is the book for you.What a depressing crowd of characters

I was appalled by the horrors in this book. The characterisation of the tormentor and his victims is incredibly vivid. It is not gruesome but psychologically disturbing.
I thoroughly recommend the book.
A troubling psychological picture

Alex Jennings absolutely nailed the narration; he brought to life some fairly ghastly characters and made the world they inhabited seem really vivid. I can't wait to read the next novel.
An absolute treat!

What does Alex Jennings bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Alex Jennings brings his intelligence and considerable vocal skills to this darkly comic portrayal of a monstrous father who detonates his innocent young son's childhood. His use of tones to play the many and varied roles, from gender to gender and from toddler to demented old lady, he nails them all. Riveting.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There is a crisis which I won't describe here; suffice to say it brought me to tears.Any additional comments?
The fact there are a further four to listen to is a pleasure in itself, once you start the first. I am looking forward to listening to St Aubyn's latest book too.....bliss.The first of five intriguing books
