About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
From internationally bestselling author John Boyne, an inescapably gritty story about one young man whose direction in life takes a vastly different turn than what he expected.
It’s the tabloid sensation of the year: two well-known footballers standing in the dock, charged with sexual assault, a series of vile text messages pointing towards their guilt.
As the trial unfolds, Evan Keogh reflects on the events that have led him to this moment. Since leaving his island home, his life has been a lie on many levels. He’s a talented footballer who wanted to be an artist. A gay man in a sport that rejects diversity. A defendant whose knowledge of what took place on that fateful night threatens more than just his freedom or career.
The jury will deliver a verdict but, before they do, Evan must judge for himself whether the man he has become is the man he wanted to be.

Riveting and surprising
Earth is a fascinating account of a young man’s troubled life with a brilliant ending I did not see coming. The narrator Dane White O’Hara is exceptionally talented. An engrossing audiobook that shook me to my core. Thank you to John Boyne.

Voice performance was outstanding
Written and performed as if it were an intimate conversation. First person narrative and setting of the scene and progression of the story was flawless. I made excuses to drive or walker further than I needed to go to keep listening. Highly recommend.

The twist at the very end
Liked the complex characters and suspense of the verdict. Poignant description of a young man with complicated home life coming to terms with his true self.

The complexity of earth
Beautifully read,extraordinary writing. Definitely an author who knows the importance of telling a story without the need for unnecessary embellishments of detail. I’m in awe of his ability to draw me in completely to the environment. I find his characters intensely compelling and I cannot leave them until I know the final outcome. He touches me deeply….always and I’m anticipating his next sequel of Fire.

Stunning
A brilliant, suspenseful story of sexuality and both arrant and pensive masculinity. The novel of the year. Haunting. Perfect. And superbly read. Bravo!

Insightful
I like John Boyne’s ability to articulate the experiences that shape and motivate us and his sympathy for his characters even when they are behaving badly. I particularly like that he seems to understand the attitudes and behaviours which affect women negatively. Earth has an absorbing story reflecting today’s issues.

The Ending
I love how John Boyne explores every facet of a story, and reveals its truths, layer by layer.

A gentle peeling back of layers
Being told in the present and past tense really added to the unraveling story and the heightened tension. Great narrator.
