Summary

Returning in Enderby Outside, Enderby must deal with incongruous plagiarism from the pop star Yod Crewsley and a visit from an apparent personification of his Muse.

Extraordinary book, annoying narration

I have found John Sessions’ narration a major impediment to enjoying the Enderby books. In this installment, the narration improves somewhat towards the end, but in general, he charicatures the characters and sneers through every poem he reads. This is such a contrast to the way that Burgess narrated “A Clockwork Orange”. I feel that if the producers of the Enderby books had listened to the author read his own work, they might have made a better choice for narrator. It’s a real shame, because the Enderby books are hidden gems.

Poor narration

I read this book a long time ago and was looking forward to listening to it. The late John Sessions was a great actor but he seemed to be rushing through this. The pace and poor diction made it a chore to follow. First title I have ever returned.
