Few humans in the history of civilisation have had a third series of their podcast commissioned. Fewer still have produced one that’s actually any good. Partridge Gordon Alan, or Alan Gordon Partridge to write his name the correct way round, is one of them.

If you’re a fan of the Partridge you’re going to love this. Season 3 ties in perfectly with the previous two seasons.

Jaws is the classic blockbuster thriller that inspired the three-time Academy Award-winning Steven Spielberg movie and made millions of beachgoers afraid to go into the water. Experience the thrill of helpless horror again—or for the first time!

Surprise surprise another book that’s better than the movie. The narrator is very talented and the main female character is more dynamic than the typical predictable female protagonists.
Very easy book to binge

I’m tired of these types of books. The whole chosen one thing is overdone. With 3 hours left I just skipped to the end so I wouldn’t feel like I wasted my time. Cliche bullshit once you get to the last three hours.

Story
The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
This book takes a really long time to get nowhere. Nine hours of this book could have been written in just two chapters. None of the characters thus far have any depth to them, and the plot is 90% unnecessary details. I doubt I'll be investing the time it takes to finish the rest of the story, and sadly it doesn't bother me in the least. If you are looking for a good read you are better of getting something like Shantaram.
Would you ever listen to anything by Donna Tartt again?
unlikely
