Tats; If you're even Thinking About hesitating to read 'Bury My Heart', then you clearly haven't been reading this thread.

" Hiroshima ", I read at school. Fukk sake. Doctor, walking along a hospital corridor, examining notes on his clip board. Just gets level with a concrete pillar and it's like something out of a Queen song.

Dido; This one's a fukking belter!!! I've had some that are completely unbearable! " Saigon ", unfortunately, was one such!

Narrator was trying to leap around between four voices in one paragraph. One of them being a fukking woman! Urgh! I don't think I lasted a chapter! It was Dire!

BMH though is fukking great! American, older bloke. Got a good voice and reads extremely fluently. When he quotes someone, he speaks with his normal voice.
