A bit too boringly confessional

Would you try another book from Richard Coles and/or Richard Coles?

Yes, I would. There were many aspects of the book that I enjoyed. Overall, however, I felt there was too much confessional info and it was not even that interesting. I read it as I know of him as a personality. The religion bit left me cold.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I already knew how it would end.

What three words best describe Richard Coles’s performance?

Erudite, fast-paced, listenable.

Was Fathomless Riches worth the listening time?

In retrospect, no. I read it to the end to see if would improve. Some of the prose was lovely, but I wanted more dialogue and meaningful interactions.`

Any additional comments?

I suppose this captures an era, but I didn't feel it went deep enough. It wasn't Joe Orton. Also, the conversion stuff was not terribly believable or interesting. The best bits were about the BBC and his travels.
