About this listen

A stylish piece of noir fiction; now a major film starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan.

Drive is about a man who does stunt driving for movies by day and drives for criminals at night. Sallis combines murder, treachery, and payback in a sinister plot with resonances of 1940s pulp fiction and film noir. Told through a cinematic narrative that weaves back and forth through time and place, the story explores Driver's near-existential moral foundations, intercut with moments of bloody violence.

Brilliant story totally compelling. Very good. Wish the narrator just narrated he has a good voice but when he strays from his USA dialect is Scottish sounds Nigerian and his Latin sounds more Punjabi. Lovely piece of writing.

Nearly impossible to listen to.
Jumps so much from different angles and times and situations that you feel lightheaded.
Have read the story on kindle and would advise using that medium where I would give it 5 stars.

Not made for audible

This is by far, unquestionably the most boring thing I've ever had to go through. The story was one of those "absolutely nothing happened" sort of pointless empty nothingness of hollow shell praying for death sort of stories that you immediately forget or pray for amnesia or massive brain damage to finish you off. The only thing that cheers me up is that if I managed to go through this 879 hour audio book (that's how long it felt), I'm ready for anything life throws at me.
The human narrating was so bad I was wondering if I went to hell and I was being punishing the eternal punishment of listening to him wording words the same way my grandmother did after her 2nd stroke.
It's really really bad people, how can this be published work?????? I'm happy at least that I didn't have to pay for it.

It's a pity I can't put 0 stars or minus

Terrible narration. Flat as flat can be. All sounds the same and there is no difference between woman, old man, narrator and main character voice.

The attempt of doing a different accent (Scottish or Irish) for Shannon was pitiful.

Narrator flat as a tyre on a motorway

This is one of the rare occasions that the film will be better, this book is rather boring and slow....

Strange
