Summary

A stylish piece of noir fiction; now a major film starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan.

Drive is about a man who does stunt driving for movies by day and drives for criminals at night. Sallis combines murder, treachery, and payback in a sinister plot with resonances of 1940s pulp fiction and film noir. Told through a cinematic narrative that weaves back and forth through time and place, the story explores Driver's near-existential moral foundations, intercut with moments of bloody violence.

Narrator flat as a tyre on a motorway

Terrible narration. Flat as flat can be. All sounds the same and there is no difference between woman, old man, narrator and main character voice.

The attempt of doing a different accent (Scottish or Irish) for Shannon was pitiful.

Brilliant Story

Brilliant story totally compelling. Very good. Wish the narrator just narrated he has a good voice but when he strays from his USA dialect is Scottish sounds Nigerian and his Latin sounds more Punjabi. Lovely piece of writing.

Not made for audible

Nearly impossible to listen to.
Jumps so much from different angles and times and situations that you feel lightheaded.
Have read the story on kindle and would advise using that medium where I would give it 5 stars.

Strange

This is one of the rare occasions that the film will be better, this book is rather boring and slow....
