Summary
Fuelled by a bleak aggressive outlook on life the book centers around a boozy, philandering weekend which is graphically captured by Sillitoe's clever prose and Linus Roache's strong reading.

Accent mastery
Would it really have been so difficult to find s voice actor who doesn’t think Nottingham is in Yorkshire?

saturday night sunday morning
I enjoyed the book in essence but it was spoilt by the lenghty jazz music between chapters, seems to go on forever. When i first started listening the music went on so long i thought i had the wrong download! Also i didnt think the narrator was very good at times running paragraphs into each other so it seemed the second paragraph was part of the first so to speak. Could be much better recording for a brilliant book.

Abridged
Good book, but misses out vital sections of Stilltoe’s novel — wish this was put on the cover image.

Abridged
Disappointed The unabridged version was not available on audible and the music is annoying but gave it 5 stars as I enjoyed the story & performance

Good story but misses out a lot
This book being the first proper representation of Working Class life is a brilliant story keeping you interested until the end. The protagonist being neither a hero or villain but just a normal bloke making some bad and some justified decisions.
As I was listening to this and reading a hard copy simultaneously unfortunately I noticed this audio book misses out big chunks of the text which is a great shame!

Heavily edited, unnecessary Jazz
Huge chunks of the novel have been clumsily removed to create this abridged version. With little pause given between key scenes, it left me wondering if I'd accidentally brushed my phone and sped forward to the next chapter. There are intermittent jazz interludes between the chapters that seem at odds with the story, and we're frankly irritating. This recording is saved by the sheer talent of Linus Roache whose voice lifts the dialect, skipping and dragging to the beat of the pros,If you want to get the full story read the book.

Ordinary life told in an ordinary style
The actors accent was bit ropey at times and difficult to keep listening to. However story good kept one interested

Up t’north
A pretty solid interpretation of life in a small northern working class town for a young bloke looking for some sort of excitement.
