Reseñas de la Crítica

"G. K. Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday is a wacky, nightmarish, deliriously well-written adventure story for grownups in which nothing is what it seems and everyone wears a mask, whether figurative or literal. It's hard to think of a more thrilling book." (Kate Christensen, Time magazine's Summer Reading List 2009)

So glad I listened again! I was disappointed with the ending after my first listen...an ending which will not lend itself to those who feel compelled to skip to the end. It's a clever twist on a mystery with clever twists and both funny and profound. The narrator delivered a great performance with different voices and accents. I will listen to this again for those times when I wish to escape my thoughts.

Better after my 2nd listen

As a long time Chesterton fan, I've read this book numerous times but this was my first listen. It was an absolute treat! Peever performs the book rather than just narrating it. His voices make the characters believable and quite entertaining. I will listen to this countless times. It's such a deep story and Peever does justice to Chesterton's writing. I picked up some nuances I hadn't noticed in reading the book. So glad I purchased this. I look forward to seeking out Peever's other audiobooks.

Peever Does Great Justice to Chesterton

The story isn't bad, just not one I'd be likely to listen to again. Chesterton was a terrific writer, but this story leaves me desiring something more. Nigel's performance was the only reason I pushed through it to the end. He always does a fantastic job and saved the story as much as was possible.

Stellar performance of a somewhat lackluster story

With the absurd charm of good English manners among dilettantes and aristocrats overlying the sense of danger, this is a lovely and intricate little faberge egg of a work revolving around a pitched battle between two men of wits. It's the perfect listen on a rainy or snowy day. Grab a blanket and a cup of tea, snuggle down and enjoy.

An intricate and gaslit duel of the mind

I can hardly speak of Chesterton’s crowning text. It is the rarest of books, and it batters me every time.

Instead, a few words about the production. When I first heard Peever’s voice in a short excerpt, I thought it far too stuffy to carry this most comical and grace of books. But after listening to his entire performance, I find no fault. In fact, his seems the perfect voice for The Man Who Was Thursday. I am less enchanted with the occasional music, but my only real complaint is that it swallows the last word of the book in its fanfare. A worthy production of an incredible work.

There are few books as audacious and ravishing

The narrator, Nigel Peever, gives such a great performance of Chesterton's most entertaining tale! Combines suspense, humor, philosophy, and brilliant one-liners.

marvelous

I recalled struggling through this book—though I found large sections of it sensationally satisfying and exciting—when I was 20. It was my first exposure to post-Victorian writing, and thanks to reading much more from this era since then (and maturity, no doubt), those passages I found difficult were as pleasurable as the rest of the book upon rereading.

I recently wanted to revisit some of the philosophical observations here, so I tried this audiobook, and the narration is among the very best I’ve ever heard. Nigel Peever illuminates the story beautifully—his voices are easy to track, excitement rings through his voice when warranted, and his delivery clearly conveys the subtleties of the occasional situation that may not immediately apparent (to an American, anyway).

I imagine this story will always have its detractors, because there is a grand metaphysical theme running through it, but this performance (and the overall production, as well) is such a smash, it’s worth a listen under any circumstance. I’m looking forward to listening to it again

Extraordinary narration, vividly told

I loved how the narrator portrayed the Characters voices, the professor being my favorite! I was laughing so hard at the scene about "coevil" and "lush" Nigel did such a great job making that scene so real! I did notice toward the end more, that there was some short skipping, like a scratched CD, but it was definitely worth the listen!

Amazing book! Narrator did amazing!

GK Chesterton’s classic thriller about spies, secret organizations and terrorist is brilliantly performed by Nigel Peever. He is a versatile narrator who seamlessly switches among the many characters with their unique voices. Good book and better narration!

Fabulous performance!

I received this audio book for free in exchange for my honest review. I read this book many years ago and enjoyed it, but the narrator makes it an even more enjoyable experience. I know you're going to like this one.

Fantastic Story!
