Great listening!

I really like how Sally Rooney approches normal things and conversations and make a brilliant book out of it. While I found the book intriguing on many levels, i appreciated the narration by Aoife even better. She has done an excellent job!

a bit hard for the current times

it's a story of 4 people who are not exactly all alike and are as different as chalk and cheese when it comes to outlook on life and their own issues dealings .A good read though overall and the audible performance is great indeed .

An absolute delight

Loved it. This was my first audiobook and I cannot express how goooood it felt. of course, I was reading the paperback side by side. But it was literally like living every moment.

however, I feel the part where the man voice was there, it could have been better.

Interesting for a one time read

This book is interesting, not nearly as “addictive” as Normal People, but good enough. The characters are well fleshed out. This book wasn’t amazing or anything but sufficiently interesting for a one time listen/ read. The narrator has done a really good job though.

Waiting for the Beautiful World

The debates & their topics are timely, wise, necessary, giving one much to ponder on but the story is very average, the characters (beautifully drawn) are trapped in the mundane. The narrator is brilliant and kept me listening else would have abandoned the book early on.

Some books are more about the conversations

I never hated characters as much as felix and Alice. they're both I could never get along with. All characters sounds so much depressed that I got sad too which made me think that Did I enjoy it that much that I was feeling bad for some made up characters. I love it when characters have philosophical conversations every now then because It gives an opportunity to discuss lots of the issues that society is facing and an opportunity to solve it by the power of well articulated literature. Sometimes this is all it takes. I hate that I don't have any friends to have a philosophical debate about life and all kinds of stuff.

Good feeling.

It was a good reading experience for me as I am a sucker for very long excavations on feelings that are often considered normal or random. However, a little more insight into them could've been there - especially since I wanted something more from Felix and Alice. It is like those characters and their encounters didn't result in what I hoped for but in a very Nottinghill situation. Overall The feeling that is left is a good one.

A bland book with a lot of missed potential

This book did not work for me. I kept waiting for it to get better and it didn't. The tone, pace and content was similar from start to end. I liked that this book addresses things most millennials go through. The confusion, uncertainty, moral quandary... the unending life theories which ultimately don't seem to translate into everyday actions. But I wished for more depth and a better conclusion. Once I finished the book, it left me feeling bleh! I really wanted to like this book, but nope.
