Pitch perfect reading, and a hugely enjoyable performance. I highly recommend this version of Barchester Towers.

The title isn't meant to be faint praise. This is a huge improvement on Simon Vance's eccentric reading. This is one of Trollope's easier to listen to books. His mannerisms and repetitions can wear, even though his characters live. They especially live in this book when it's read properly, as it is here

A straightforward reading

...would be intolerable! One of the great comic masterpieces of English literature, superbly narrated. Audio book at its best.

You need a good rest after binge-listening to this before tackling the next in the series, but it's pure joy from start to finish. Trollope is a masterful wordsmith and it's difficult just to listen and resist rewinding every minute or so just to hear something again because it was so perfect. Beautifully read to boot. ❤️
