You’ll love it or hate it
I loved it. Such a clever account of life as “an old Bailey Hack” brilliantly written entertaining and a demonstration of the under dog winning through. I’d buy the whole series if I could afford to

excellent storytelling
I am perhaps unkind to the performer as I have for many years enjoyed the BBC characterisation from Another.

Technical issues with this book
Ok story etc but it regularly jumped back to a number of places. Never had any problems like this with any other book.

Simply Apalling Narrative…..Sorry
Listened to all the Bill Wallace renditions of Rumpole and absolutely loved his capture of the persona. This rendition is, well quite frankly, wooden in my opinion. Nothing at all riveting, and little which draws me me back to wanting to listen to these stories other than the enticing story-line and wonderful use of language by John Mortimer. Terribly disappointing. Wish there was a different version to give the characters and storyline the entitlement ….and life….they deserve. Would recommend only because I can’t find an alternative version. So missing B Wallace.

Repeated chapters are very annoying.
What would have made Rumpole Rests His Case better?
I am astonished that no one has withdrawn this book given the error in publication and the previous reviewers stating that the chapters are repeated. I bought this hoping it had, but as it had not I have asked for a refund.

Poor download
Would you ever listen to anything by John Mortimer again?
Yes
Which character – as performed by Tony Britton – was your favourite?
Rumpole
Any additional comments?
It was very difficult to follow the stories as the each chapter was repeated back to back thus running time was over 12 hours but actual story length was just over 6!

Half the story
Every chapter of this book is duplicated, so the advertised length of this product is wrong. Also, having to skip every other chapter is annoying.
