Gripping

Gripping from start to finish. The only downside to this podcast is that it contains adverts, if you can skip through these, it's a totally fascinating podcast.

Jack Barsky's life is a constant thrill ride...

... you'll definitely enjoy this podcast if you like these type of stories. Pay no attention to the comment about annoying ads - it's a podcast! Just skip through them. You won't be disappointed. Planning to read the book next!

Would have been great

Bloody annoying with all the loud, stupid, inappropriate ads peppered throughout. I just couldn’t stand to listen to it.
