Audiobook Review: Hurricane Hill by Chris Leicester
Chris Leicester provides with Hurricane Hill a very interesting audition for those looking for a new, fast-paced, military thriller that not only addresses the drama and the thrills of young men sent to fight for their country, but also the traumatic consequences that war has on their minds. Be assured, I won’t spoil anything for you, as I would like for you to discover the story on your own, but I can add that this book will mark you for at least a few weeks.
The audiobook version of Hurricane Hill is performed by Roy Carruthers. He is a good narrator, acting the entire book with passion and enthusiasm, using a multitude of different voices and accents to bring all the characters to life. Sadly, sometimes he seems to be overacting everything… and because of that I didn’t connect with him as much as I usually do with other voice over artists and narrators.
One fact that I find really interesting is that the book is adapted for a play that was a big success in the United Kingdom for three years, between 2013 and 2015. You can get Hurricane Hill for Free when you sign up for the 30 days Audible Trial.
asked Chris if he wanted to add anything more to my highlight of Hurricane Hill and this is what he said:
“It was 3 O’clock in the morning. I was feeding my newborn son, watching the air strike go in on Baghdad. Tom is now 15. History seems to be repeating itself. Never has there been a more appropriate time to listen to Hurricane Hill.”
