    "On and on and On! "

    I thought this book was incredibly boring, there were so many times I wanted to turn back but I just kept thinking what about all the reviews. I was bored out of my mind the entire time and it never got better.

    "Colin Firth is perfect voice for this book"

    Firth is a great reader. His reading has rhythms of felt speech as if you're inside the thoughts of someone arguing out of pain with God - and losing.

    "Great narration, didn't love the story"
    Would you try another book from Graham Greene and/or Colin Firth?

    I would definitely listen to another book by Colin Firth. His voice is like butter and draws you in.


    Any additional comments?

    This is a love story that takes place during the aftermath of WWII. I didn't hate it, but the main redeeming quality was Colin Firth's voice. The rest of it would have dragged with any other narrator.

    "Beautifully written"

    Graham Greene is such a wonderfully descriptive writer that one always feels as if you are sitting beside his characters feeling what they feel, saying what they say, and visually seeing what they see... Loved this book!

    "COLIN FIRTH: Please do more audiobooks!"

    The story is good, fine, interesting... but Colin Firth could make the phone book sound compelling. Seriously: he's up there with Juliet Stevenson, Jim Dale, and the like. Audible, entice him somehow; I would buy anything he read. Take my credits!

    Story
    "Jealousy"
    Where does The End of the Affair rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    I enjoyed this audiobook, but it won't become a favorite.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Colin Firth's narration, hands down, is the best part of the story. I also liked the ending, surprisingly. The two men that loved her the most becoming sort of friends, clinging to each other in an attempt to keep her memory alive for both of them.


    What about Colin Firth’s performance did you like?

    He was Morris. The passion, the love, the bitterness, the jealousy was all there as if Colin was living the story as opposed to reading it aloud.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    This is the kind of story where I really want to hit the characters upside the head with their own book. Morris' jealousy driving the wedge between the lovers, his bitterness that keeps him away from Sarah, and her sheer stupidity for running out in the cold rain when she's already ill just to avoid him. I cared about the characters which is why I got so annoyed with them and, to me, that's the hallmark of good writing.


    Any additional comments?

    If you can, get Colin Firth to narrate more books. He has the knack of making already good books live in the imagination.

    "Favourite book"

    This is my favourite book. Maybe “Power and the Glory” is his best novel but this is my favourite. Love, hate, jealousy all in a marvellous story. The way Greene builds layer upon layer on the story is masterful. The characters are so real and alive. Well worth listening to.

    "Compulsively depressing and yet....."

    I couldn’t stop listening! Colin Firth is the perfect face and voice to put to this incredibly complex story. If there had been a different ending, I would have been very disappointed.

    "need more from Collin !!!"

    the story starts with so much intrigue, you are easily swept away by story and Ollin Firth's reading.
    However, I was much disappointed in the end, the story could of been so much more .
    that said, I hope Collin continues to narrate, I would purchase more from him without hesitation. I spent hours litening to samples, and was absolutely amazed when I heard this one, and stayed lued to my headphones.......well, up to the last few chapters, but that was not at any fault of the narration.
