How's the Pain?

De: Pascal Garnier

Narrado por: Luke Thomson

Death is Simon's business. And now the ageing vermin exterminator is preparing to die. But he still has one last job down on the coast and he needs a driver.

Bernard is 21. He can drive and he's never seen the sea. He can't pass up the chance to chauffeur for Simon, whatever his mother may say. As the unlikely pair set off on their journey, Bernard soon finds that Simon's definition of vermin is broader than he'd expected...

Veering from the hilarious to the horrific, this offbeat story from master stylist, Pascal Garnier, is at heart an affecting study of human frailty.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Action-packed and full of gallows humour.' (The Sunday Telegraph)

"This is remarkable fiction, cold and humane at the same time, pitch-black dark yet not bitter, ugly yet elegant." (The Complete Review)

A good listen

The book is light on story although you find yourself wanting to know more. The author is heavy on talent and the narrator is perfect

wierd

it is a wierd little book. A wierd story, but the descriptions of the French locations and characters was enjoyable, and make up for the weirdness of the story. The narrator was delightful. I did enjoy it overall.
