Title: Great book, Terribler narrator
Product review: What a marvelous novel. Perhaps not as good as Tinker Tailor... but few books are, even by Carre. The reason I gave this recording such a low rating is that I cannot STAND the narrator's delivery or voice. He reads the book as if perusing a last weeks newspaper-- no sense of pace, long pauses between the sentences. And that appalling voice! Dry and rasping like a used sandpaper but at same time rather effete! Dreadful.Unfortunately, the narrator Frederick Davidson is used on a lot of British audio recordings. I had to return his P.G. Wodehouse recordings for the above-mentioned reasons.For those who agree I am providing link to same title but with a different and better narrator.The Honourable Schoolboy: A BBC Full-Cast Radio Drama (BBC Radio Series)
