Tigers and devils by sean kennedy5/22/2023 ![]() Simon is so prickly, needy, and truthfully a wanker that it was hard to sympathize with him on occasion. I didn’t understand what Declan saw in Simon, especially since the narrator (Simon) kept asking the same question. I still appreciated that the book showed 2 years of a relationship with both the highs and lows but I had a hard time getting them as a couple. He’s so insecure, petulant, and off putting that I kept asking myself why Declan put up with him. This time around I found Simon really annoying. Beyond that the story is just as engaging though it hit some of my dislike buttons hard. He does a good job but he makes Australia sound like some alien world he has no connection to, which is kind of unfortunate. Since Australia is basically a main character of the book I was disappointed the narrator was so generic. The narrator should have been Australian. ![]() You can read my full review below but here are some updated thoughts about the audiobook and re-read. Not entirely and SK is a great author but I found myself less forgiving of the main narrator this time around. It’s interesting that in the 5 years or so since I had read it my tastes have somewhat changed. ![]() On that quest when I saw Sean Kennedy’s fantastic T&D on audio I wasted no time getting it. It’s a nice way to revisit old favorites and I’m taking full advantage. ![]() I just can’t seem to stop listening to them. My new rating would be: 3.5-4 out of 5 starsĭSP is a black hole for audiobooks. ![]()
