Reader Reviews:
Wrong narrator (0/0 people found this helpful)
Brilliant book, excellent film........terrible audio book!
Content superb BUT appalling narration.
Patricia Hodge is dreadful - at one point its impossible to tell the difference between Ritchie and his father - the same voice is used for both.
Miranda Richardson SHOULD have recorded this title.
better than reading it for yourself (0/0 people found this helpful)
I didn't think that the book of THE HOURS could be improved on until I heard this unabridged reading. At fist I foud Hodges' alternation of english and american accented narration jarring, but it really works and complements her unerring characterisation. The ticking clock that markes the transition between the three interlocking narratives is also effective.
