Excellent. Being a cricket fan I can be highly appreciative of how a lot of the reference to the characters, both the real, fictional and a blend of them made the tale. There is a pivotal event at the 80% mark that had me wondering how the final 20% could be relevant to the story so far told. Relevant? It made the story. The following is a huge spoiler and I strongly recommend that it not be read by anyone that intends to read this wonderful book. (view spoiler) [Spoiler. There is an unpublished manuscript that holds no punches in terms of Sri Lankan Cricket and probably the mass corruption in the country itself. We also get an insight to the civil war and that the game of Cricket also takes on a religious fervour for the vast majority of the population, be they Sri, Tamil or any other of the ethnic divide. The writer of the book (or in my case narrator) is searching for a bowler by the name of Pradeep Mathew who has disappeared and is seemingly deleted from all records. The last 20% of the book covers the attempt to get the book published. After getting agreement, the publishing company wants to edit the book. The point, to me at least, is that the reader (listener in my case), is challenged to decide as to the author's alcoholism and mental health during the first 80% of the book so with that consider in the last 20% fact from fiction. One example; would the editors take the British consulate employee involved in paedophilia out of the book to make it more palatable, even if he did or did not exist. Why was that person in the book in the first place, his role seemed superfluous. But was it? End Spoiler. (hide spoiler) ] Audio narrator Shivantha Wijesinha is outstanding and this might be the first book audio in that narration added to my overall enjoyment and what has also made this an exceptional experience. I had no idea he was all the parts, Male, Female, accents both Sri Lankan and others. Fantastic. I might eventually get a physical copy of the book to read along to another listen of the narration. A masterful book and highly recommended.
