Midnight Riot<\/a><\/em> (2011\/2012) Ben Aaronovitch<\/a> narrated by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’ve had audio books that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed before, but until now, I’d not had the experience of a reader making a book better.<\/p>\n

Kobna Holdbrook-Smith did that. He is amazing. He did various accents that made each character distinct and they all sounded different. Even the female characters.<\/p>\n

The story by itself made me want to keep in the story, but the reading, well, I actually finished the book today while working in the kitchen, rather than waiting on the next 30 minute burst while walking.<\/p>\n

Absolutely delightful and marvelous.
\nRating: 10\/10<\/p>\n
