I read this as an e-book a while back and found it mildly entertaining, plus I usually enjoy Joel Leslie’s narration, but all I can say is boy does the book not wear well. In particular I started wanting to throw things at David’s repeated manglings of the word “achubydd” — come on, it’s only three syllables, there’s no need to act as if it were some impossible tonguetwister. Seems like a small point, but it’s typical of how forced everything about this book is, from the attraction between David and Alun (sorry, not feeling it), to the trumped-up misunderstandings and arguments.

In short: don’t bother; listening to this audiobook has placed Russell firmly on my DNR list.
