Members Reviews:

So dull!

Would you try another book written by James Naughtie or narrated by Seán Barrett?

I definitely would not try another by James Naughtie but I'm open minded about the narrator.

Has The Madness of July put you off other books in this genre?

I'm not sure what genre it was. If it was a political thriller/spy type novel it's a poor example. They're my favourite genre.

What didnt you like about Seán Barretts performance?

It was so dull. I struggled to stay awake. To be fair it's probably not his fault and I'd be interested to try something completely different read by him.

You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Not really.

Any additional comments?

None of the characters were interesting or came alive. I struggled to tell the difference between the characters because they all had no personality. The story kept promising that something was going to happen - but it never did! There was murder, suicide, spies - how can someone make that so boring?

Nothing happens

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Better narration and a better story

What was most disappointing about James Naughties story?

Nothing really happened which is Ok but there was no slow revelation of the story. It was all hints and innuendo with no detail. I can understand teasing it out but the London part especially was tedious. The story just didn't move.

How could the performance have been better?

What's with doing female voice in a falsetto! Really not attractive or necessary.

You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

The Scottish/mother plot line was the best bit.

Disappointing

As an avid Radio 4 man in the morning, I admire James Naughtie's pithy celtic observations on politics on the Today Programme. So I was very keen to listen to this novel set in '70s British politics. There is so much potential in the era and in his deep understanding of what he calls "The Game".

This is an ambitious novel, combining three themes: espionage, a murder mystery and a sensitive family drama between three brothers. All of these are further complicated by a US dimension, set against a political life which rarely provides more than a backdrop.

It strives for a subtle, understated style with clipped, elliptical dialogue, loaded with portent, between players steeped in the parallel "games" of politics and espionage. Le Carre does this stuff masterfully, but that is a high bar to reach. Instead of being portentous, this just turns out to be pretentious, with dialogue and set-pieces reminding me of the most cheesy of '70s melodramas.

Fun and fanciful

I liked Doug Olsen' s book about four unlikely people who ultimately save America from a nuclear attack. It has twists and turns that are unexpected. Doug intertwined a message of faith as these spies are aided by none other than God himself through miracles that resulted because they believed in His power .

Members Reviews:

CIA/Soviet murder mystery

This exciting book is a genuine page-turner. It's of special appeal to anyone living in the DC/Bethesda area because of the numerous scenes taking place at locations there and especially around the C&O Canal. The protagonist is a semi-elderly woman living in a modest house in Glen Echo who comes upon a body on the canal towpath early one morning, and when police respond it is gone. She becomes a detective herself in an effort to prove that she wasn't imaging things. The action takes placer as the city prepares for a visit by Mikhail Gorbachov.

Needs a proofreader!

I enjoyed the book because I am familiar with the area. However, there were so many words that ran together that it was rather distracting to have to stop and decode.
