About this listen
These hilarious tales of urban terror reveal the dark truth hidden behind three seemingly innocent words - a phrase that you have seen a hundred times before but will never view in the same light again - WANTED TO SHARE. John Birmingham's rendering of a life in share houses will leave you laughing, cringing and reminiscing about your own brushes with the mad, bad residents of flat mate hell.

Lacklustre rendition of a great book.
I love this book, so was disappointed that parts of it were left out. I don't know why these bits were skipped over. It diminished the flow and enjoyment of the story for me.

very good
very good, it was entertaining to hear many people read the book, though at times when not paying too much mind it got confusing

Easy and Light hearted
Pleasant to hear an Australian accent narrating an Australian story. If you're after a story without too much thought and a bit of humor I'd recommend it. For those considering share housing please keep in mind it's not all drugs and commune living.

Hysterical and relatable
Birmingham narrates you on a journey that will leave you on a PTSD flashback path of your own memorable share housing experiences.
A delightful brief experience that will leave you laughing for hours.

enjoyable
The narrators are fantastic, just a shame it's a bit of an abridged version.

Bloody funny but half laughing at yourself
Hilarious time capsule of share-house living in the 90s - on acid. Featuring a grungy ensemble of Aussie misfit comedians it’s like enjoying some far flung yarns over some cheap Lambrusco and pizza on a dodgy student couch on the veranda in the wee hours.

It was ok just a bit boring, music seemed unnecessary and the time period kept jumping
As the title suggests above, bit boring, time period kept jumping and music was a bit off

Australia’s answer to “on the road”
This book inspired an entire generation of Australians to become unattached semi vagrants and we are forever in Birminghams debt.
