Critic Reviews
AudioFile Earphones Award, Exceptional Audio Performance, 2004
"One of those rare novels that warm the heart, as well as spark the imagination." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Peter Hosking's performance is true to Winton's unsentimental exploration into humankind's ability to love and survive amid adversity.... His characterizations, including an aboriginal ghost and a talking pig, are earthy, real, and frequently hilarious." (AudioFile)

Only 1 criticism....
Loved it! My only comment is about the incorrect pronunciation of several West Australian town names, but otherwise it was a fantastic narration.

Insightful and engaging
Peter Hosking was perfect as narrator for this delightful, sad, funny and thought-provoking book. I hated walking away from Tim Winton's wonderful writing! Now hungry for every Winton book I've not yet read.

Unadulterated West Australianism
I’ve now done the audio version, excellently narrated(aside from mispronunciation of some towns in WA), having previously read the paperback, watched the stage production and seen the TV series.
I cannot get enough of the Aussie larrikinism and the slang and I need to have my fix of these which sadly are slowing dying in this current different kind of multicultural Australia.
Tim writes like I think. I relate. His writing is pure Aussie and I’ve had belly fulls of laughter listening to the audio version.
Brilliant!

Sad, funny, insane, visual and mental.
One of the strangest books I’ve listened to. But it’s good to face a challenge and have to think about the content and what it means. It’s really quite simple, though writing down your mental somersaults would be very complex as we all have different levels of understanding. There’s no real high point of this book and no real purpose other than to tell a lifetime of two intertwined families. Every book I read takes me on a new journey..... I will read another Winton book.

Rough
The story is quite rough around the edges, probably not unlike those times and poverty. I tired of it half way. May finish it one day. The narration is brilliant.

The best.
My favourite book of all time became a new experience with this audio version. Loved the narration and the way the story was told with such a lyrical, Australian voice. Just beautiful.

Cloudstreet. One of the best . If not the best.
Excellent story, and a big shout out to Peter Hosking. He has read this book perfectly, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy himself while doing it.
I'll definitely be checking out other books read by Peter Hosking.
