Going Solo

De: Roald Dahl

Narrado por: Dan Stevens

“Roald Dahl sometimes shared a tonal kinship with Ogden Nash, and he could demonstrate a verbal inventiveness nearly Seussian…[His] stories work better in audio than in print.” –The New York Times


Superb stories, daring deeds, fantastic adventures!

Going Solo is the action-packed tale of Roald Dahl's exploits as a World War II pilot.

Reseñas de la Crítica

His account of life as a fighter pilot in the Western Desert and in Greece has the thrilling intensity and the occasional grotesqueness of his fiction—Sunday Times

Very nearly as grotesque as his fiction. The same compulsive blend of wide-eyed innocence and fascination with danger and horror—Evening Standard

A non-stop demonstration of expert raconteurship—The New York Times Book Review

Such a delightfully told tale. It amuses from the very beginning of his journey to Africa to the end of his flying with the RAF. A very enjoyable read.

What a ride!

Some people live interesting lives. Some people are born storytellers who can make any event sound riveting. Roald Dahl is both. These stories of his WW II adventures are gripping, emotional, and over far too soon. Dan Stevens' narration further brings them to life so well that I often forgot that I wasn't actually listening to the author's own voice.

COOL!

Very good story. Not a children’s book, but still awesome. 🤩👍 cool and awesome. Good. Cool.

AMAZING

Good great amazing awesome would listen to a thousand more times highly recommended to all

Our whole families favorite author; an amazing writer and life.

I purchased this story for my 10 year old son, and of course he along with my older two boys have all enjoyed Roald Dahl books over the years. I decided to put this on for my husband and I because we have been trapped in our kitchen every weekend working on a remodel. This story was a perfect distraction while tediously sanding and painting away each day. This story made us look forward to going to work in the kitchen just to hear what was going to happen next.
The story is exciting, amazing, sad, happy and thrilling. The reader is exceptional we enjoyed every moment and didn't want it to end.
