One of the best!

This is one of the first audiobooks I ever listened to, and it spoiled me for life. Michael York is a brilliant performer and gives a wonderful depth to the story with his varied and eccentric accents.

Art work

very good book; easy to flow with an interesting story line. A good short listen and will listen to again

Torn to Shreds!

There are 3 Ken Follett books that have been in my Audible Wish List since the end of 2012! That’s about 3 ½ years now.

I did not buy the books because only the abridged versions were available and I generally don’t care for condensed books, but after three years of waiting, plus a sale, I decided why not! It’s time to plunge.

I just finished Modigliani Scandal and I hated it! I swear it’s like they threw darts at the original book and chose those random passages to create the abridged version. It was terrible. The story did not flow, it was choppy, the storyline never really felt like it was going anywhere… they really tore the book to shreds!

I didn't get this one

I love Ken Follett's writing, but this one I just didn't get; difficult to understand and not enjoyable.
