A delight
In part 2 Pepys moves into even higher stratas of the establishment, lusts after Lady Castlemaine and witnesses the great plague as it hits London. His philanders continue unabated and his satisfaction with his growing wealth is unalloyed. Oh, and he confides that he gets a terrible crick in his neck maintaining the pose for the picture on this cover. Kenneth Branagh is a wonderful narrator.

A fantastic primary source
Amazing to listen to such compelling eye-witness accounts to the plague & the Great Fire. Those awful events, meshed in to the day-to-day provide a fascinating & engaging listening experience. Kenneth Branagh nails the delivery!

Much lost in bridgement
Branagh's reading is delightful but it doesn't make up for the yawning gaps in Pepy's life that are so obvious in this abridged version.
