Loses its way

Narrator wasn’t a geordie so the accent grated a bit but mainly the last ten chapters or so became ‘waffle with ‘he said this etc’ and in all honesty I didn’t finish the last three chapters as I’d lost interest by then.

A great story but narrator not the best

Narrator had Middlesbrough accent which let story down in parts. Being a geordie there were parts that irked me as the pronunciation was wrong. An example is the how he pronounced Nigel Abadom's surname. Or the name place of Ponteland. if you arent a geordie or not familiar with the names of some it wont matter. would love John Henry to write a book on his personal experiences one day.

Good story

Interesting storey about the family, well set out and chronicled. The only downside was the narrator, Teesside accent not Geordie, ( don’t know if it was supposed to sound ‘geordie’ to the uninitiated) numerous mispronunciations. For example, he couldn’t pronounce Ponteland or Tino Asprilla properly, pretty basic errors.

Rip off!

Save your money! If you’ve bought the first book do no buy this one
Same story word for word as the first book ‘Sayers Tried and Tested at the highest level’

Literally a carbon copy, brass neck on them for doing this ..
