About this listen
'A hold-your-breath adventure set in an utterly plausible, sun-hammered future, Juice will stab your conscience and break your heart’ - Emma Donoghue
'A blistering cli-fi epic' - The Guardian, Best Books of the Autumn
Survival is only the beginning.
Two fugitives, a man and a child, drive across a stony desert. As dawn breaks, they roll into an abandoned mine site. They’re exhausted, traumatized, desperate now, and this is a forsaken place, but as a refuge it’s the most promising they’ve seen. The child peers at the field of desolation. The man thinks to himself, this could work.
Problem is, they’re not alone . . .
So begins a searing, epic journey through a life where the challenge is not only to survive; it’s keeping your humanity if you do.
Juice is a stunning novel for fans of Station Eleven and The Road, from twice Booker-shortlisted author Tim Winton.

Strangely compulsive listening but too long
I preferred The Road, to which this is similar (especially the ending).
The narration suffers by having several mispronunciations, (especially cache, pronounced throughout as caché.) Why don’t publishers monitor narration?
I enjoyed lots of the imagery and story but, to me, much of it seemed repetitive without moving the story on.

Totally captivating
I normally listen to non fiction but heard this reviewed on R4 and they all loved it so gave it a go. A bleak but compelling story of a future earth gone through climate disaster that is totally believable and indeed predicted if we carry on. But it’s not preaching to the past, it’s a tale of survival in the inferno of an earth where climate heating has run away. It’s a story of suffering and attempt at dignity told in a grim situation. I could not stop listening but didn’t want it to end. The narrators voice is perfect, the story powerful, one of the best audio books I have had the pleasure and pain to experience.

A gripping adventure
Loved everything and I’m going to miss it now I’ve finished it! Brilliantly read and a really compulsive listen.

Gave up
Gave up after two hours listening when it became apparent no coherent storyline was going to materialise. It is very well written but that doesn’t really help when there is no story being told
