Unabridged Audiobook
3 stars for the plot, not Mankell's best. 1 star for the recording. This was obviously dubbed from an old cassette version so every now then you would hear "End of Side 1", long pregnant pause, "Side 2" short pause and then the narration would start. Even worse, some of the original cassettes had obviously been damaged so there were about 15 -20 spots where the audio was distorted. Most often it would be brief (5 seconds) but there was at leas one spot where it lasted 15-20 seconds. Sometimes the distortion was intelligible, sometimes not. 3 stars for the narration. Sean Barrett is pleasant to listen to and reads in a pretty much un-accented voice. However his Britishness show through when voicing all the other characters; they have various British accents (almost as surreal as the atrocious TV Show Wahllander) It was especially hilarious when one character is described as having a strong Swedish accent from a particular region and Sean produces something that sounds Scottish!
